Calcium Octoate Over-Drier
Calcium octoate over-drier is a metallic soap solution used as an auxiliary drier in oil-based paints and varnishes. It prevents wrinkling in thick paint films when combined with primary driers, and is supplied at 4-10% metal content in an odorless solvent. This product falls under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which covers mixtures of metallic salts and solvents designed to accelerate the drying of paints and varnishes.
Cobalt Octoate Drier
Cobalt octoate drier is a metallic soap solution used as a primary drier in oil-based paints and varnishes to accelerate surface drying by promoting oxidation. It is a prepared drier containing cobalt salts in a solvent, typically supplied at 6-12% metal content. This product is classified under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which includes mixtures of metallic compounds and solvents used to speed up the drying process of coatings.
Lead-Free Barium Octoate Drier
Lead-free barium octoate drier is a metallic soap solution used as a through-drier in industrial maintenance coatings, replacing lead-based driers without causing yellowing. It is supplied as a 16% barium solution in a solvent, designed to promote uniform drying throughout the paint film. This product falls under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which covers metallic salts and their solutions used to accelerate the drying of paints and varnishes.
Manganese Naphthenate Drier
Manganese naphthenate drier is a metallic soap solution used as a through-drier in alkyd paints, promoting uniform drying throughout the film thickness. It is typically supplied as a 6-10% manganese solution in a hydrocarbon solvent, enhancing the oxidative drying process. This product is classified under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which includes metallic salts of organic acids dissolved in solvents for use in coatings.
Mixed Metal Drier Blend 8412
Mixed metal drier blend 8412 is a commercial formulation containing cobalt, zirconium, and calcium driers balanced for optimal drying in high-solids alkyds. This proprietary blend reduces drying time and improves film hardness, making it a prepared drier for industrial coatings. It falls under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which covers mixtures of metallic soaps and solvents designed to accelerate the drying of paints and varnishes.
Rare Earth Neodymium Drier
Rare earth neodymium drier is a metallic soap solution used as a cobalt-free drying accelerator for environmentally sensitive paint applications. It provides 70% of cobalt's drying efficiency without the associated toxicity, making it suitable for wood coatings and automotive refinishes. This product is classified under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which includes metallic salts of organic acids in solvents used to promote drying in coatings.
Zirconium 2-Ethylhexanoate Drier
Zirconium 2-ethylhexanoate drier is a non-toxic auxiliary drier used in low-VOC paints to promote topcoat drying without surface skinning. It is a metallic soap solution supplied in a solvent, designed to enhance the drying of paint and ink applications. This product falls under tariff item 3211.00.00 as a prepared drier, which covers metallic salts of organic acids dissolved in solvents for use in coatings.
