BxPB Paint Drier (Lead Replacement)

Whatsapp Order

BxPB Paint Drier is a specialized industrial additive designed as a non-toxic, lead-free alternative to traditional lead-based paint driers. It contains 36% active metal content primarily composed of bismuth and other metals, formulated to accelerate the drying and curing process of oil-based paints, varnishes, and coatings. The product improves film formation, reduces drying times, and enhances the durability and gloss of finished surfaces without the health and environmental hazards associated with lead compounds. BxPB36% Paint Drier is commonly used in architectural, industrial, and automotive coatings as a safer substitute for lead-based driers.

Description

Primary Uses 

  1. Paint and Coatings Industry

    • Serves as a catalytic drying agent (paint drier) in alkyd, oil-based, and other solvent-based coatings.

    • Enhances oxidative polymerization, enabling faster drying and curing of paints and varnishes.

    • Improves surface hardness, gloss, and overall coating performance.

  2. Automotive and Industrial Coatings

    • Used in automotive refinishing paints and industrial protective coatings to reduce downtime by accelerating dry times.

    • Improves adhesion and weather resistance of coatings on metal and wood substrates.

  3. Architectural Paints

    • Applied in house paints, stains, and lacquers to speed up drying times and improve finish quality.

Secondary Uses

  1. Ink Formulations

    • Occasionally used as a drying catalyst in some solvent-based printing inks.

  2. Marine Coatings

    • Utilized in specialty marine paints requiring fast drying and corrosion resistance.

  3. Wood Finishing

    • Employed in wood varnishes and sealants to accelerate curing and enhance durability.
