FAQ

What are the main components of Surface Drier?

Surface Drier (surface drying agent), its main ingredients are generally as follows.

One is metal soap. This is an extremely important class of ingredients, often cobalt, manganese, lead, zinc and other metals combined with fatty acids to form soap. Cobalt soap plays a key role in the drying process, can effectively promote the oxidation and polymerization reaction on the surface of the paint film, significantly accelerate the drying rate, and is mostly used to adjust the drying process. Manganese soap also has a similar effect, and can improve the hardness and gloss of the paint film. Although lead soap also has a drying effect, due to its toxicity, its use is gradually decreasing. Zinc soap plays a role in the later drying stage, which can promote the further drying and curing of the paint film and improve its water resistance and durability.

The second is organic peroxides. Such ingredients can decompose under certain conditions to produce free radicals, which can initiate the polymerization of dry oils and other ingredients in the paint film, thereby assisting drying. The decomposition rate and activity vary according to the structure. The dosage needs to be precisely formulated in the formula to meet different drying needs.

The third is amine compounds. Some amines can have a synergy effect with metal soaps to enhance the drying effect. Its mechanism of action is to promote the catalytic activity of metal ions, so that the oxidative polymerization reaction can proceed more smoothly.

In addition, solvents are also indispensable components of Surface Drier. The solvent can adjust the viscosity and leveling of the drier, making it easier to disperse in the coating system to ensure uniform mixing of various ingredients and effectively exert the drying effect. Commonly used solvents include aromatics, aliphatic hydrocarbons, etc., which should be reasonably selected according to the characteristics of the paint and the requirements of use.

What is the scope of application of Surface Drier?

Surface Drier (surface desiccant) has a wide range of applications. In the painting industry, this is an indispensable thing. When painting, it is often difficult to encounter the problem of slow drying of the paint film, or although the surface is dry, the bottom layer is still wet, resulting in wrinkles, blistering and other defects. And Surface Drier can promote the drying of the paint, speed up the process of drying the surface, and make the paint film usable in a short period of time.

In the field of ink printing, it is also effective. After ink printing, it needs to be dried quickly to ensure the printing quality. If it dries too slowly, it is easy to cause the ink to rub dirty, stick, and damage the printed product. Surface Drier can quickly fix the ink, improve printing efficiency and quality.

Furthermore, in some specific industrial manufacturing scenarios, such as resin curing, it also has its application. Some resin materials need to be dried and cured under specific conditions, and Surface Drier can adjust its drying rate to make the curing process more suitable for the process and ensure the performance and quality of the product.

In terms of architectural coatings, whether it is exterior wall coatings, it needs to cope with the changeable outdoor climate, quick-drying to resist wind and rain erosion; or interior wall coatings, to be dried as soon as possible for subsequent decoration processes, Surface Drier can play an important role in helping the coating dry and form a film at the right time, and the film layer is tough and flat, with good protection and decorative effect.

In the leather finishing industry, leather needs to be dried after finishing to form a beautiful and durable coating. Surface Drier accelerates coating drying while ensuring that the softness and breathability of leather are not damaged, enhancing the quality and added value of leather products.

In summary, Surface Drier has a wide range of critical applications in finishing, ink printing, industrial manufacturing, architectural coatings and leather finishing, etc., which can solve drying problems and improve product quality and production efficiency.

How fast is Surface Drier (surface Drier) drying?

The drying rate of Surface Drier (surface desiccant) is related to many factors. Its speed is not determined by one force, but depends on multiple factors.

The first to bear the brunt is the material of the desiccant. If the desiccant based on clay is different from the desiccant based on silica gel. Silica gel is porous in texture, has a wide surface area, and has strong adsorption power to water vapor. At the beginning of drying, the rate is often very fast; while clay desiccant, although it also has the ability to absorb moisture, the adsorption rate may be slightly slower due to differences in structure.

Furthermore, the humidity and temperature of the environment have a significant impact on the drying rate. If placed in a high humidity environment, the desiccant needs to absorb more water vapor to achieve the drying effect, and the rate naturally slows down; in a dry environment, the water vapor content is small, and the desiccant adsorption process can be fast. As for temperature, under high temperature, the molecular movement intensifies, and the water vapor is more easily adsorbed by the desiccant, and the drying rate is increased; at low temperature, the molecular activity decreases, and the drying rate also decreases.

In addition, the amount of desiccant used also affects the drying rate. With sufficient dosage, more adsorption check points can be provided, and the probability of water vapor contacting it increases greatly, and the drying rate can be accelerated; if the dosage is meager, the adsorption check point is limited, and the drying process will inevitably be delayed.

In addition, the air circulation is also related to the drying rate. The air circulation is smooth, and the water vapor can be adsorbed by the desiccant in time, and the adsorbed saturated water vapor can be quickly taken away, so that the water vapor concentration around the desiccant is maintained at a low level, which is conducive to continuous adsorption, and the drying rate increases; if the air is stagnant, the water vapor accumulates around the desiccant, and the adsorption gradually becomes saturated, and the rate also slows down.

To sum up, the drying rate of the Surface Drier is the result of the cross-phase action of the material, ambient humidity, temperature, dosage, air circulation, etc. To obtain the ideal drying rate, it is necessary to coordinate various factors and adjust according to the situation.

What should I pay attention to when using Surface Drier?

Surface Drier, when using it, pay attention to all things. First, it is advisable to read the instructions carefully. This is like before marching, you must be familiar with the art of war before you can strategize. The instructions contain its usage, dosage, applicability and taboos, etc. If you follow them, things can be done, and if you follow them, the opposite will happen or cause trouble.

Furthermore, the environment used is also important. It is suitable for dry and well-ventilated places. If it is in a humid place, or its efficiency is reduced, Yujiahe is planted in waterlogs and it is difficult to flourish. And if the ventilation is good, the harmful gases will easily disperse and will not gather and hurt people.

The degree of dosage should not be careless. If you use too little, it will be difficult to achieve the expected effect, such as a drop in the bucket; if you use too much, it may cause waste, and it may cause unexpected changes. When deciding according to actual needs, be cautious.

When it is mixed with other things, you must be especially cautious. It is necessary to know whether the two are suitable and whether there is any conflict. If you mix it rashly, such as juxtaposing water and fire, you may be in danger of accidents.

People who use it should also protect themselves. Or use protective equipment, such as gloves, masks, etc., to prevent it from connecting with the skin and breathing to prevent damage to the body.

In short, when using Surface Drier, you should pay attention to all details in order to ensure that it is safe and effective, and it will not be wrong.

What are the advantages of Surface Drier compared to other congeneric products?

Surface Drier (surface drier) compared to congeneric products, its advantages are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

First, the drying rate is excellent. In various process scenarios that require rapid drying, such as painting, wood painting, etc., this agent can quickly solidify the surface layer into a film. Just like "the wind sweeps the residual clouds", ordinary congeneric products take a long time to dry, while Surface Drier can achieve drying in a short time, greatly improving the efficiency of the operation, so that the follow-up process can be carried out as soon as possible, just like "the speed of the army", to seize the opportunity in time.

Second, the drying effect is uniform. When it works, it can ensure that the surface drying condition of the treated material is uniform, and there is no risk of local drying being too fast or too slow. This is like a meticulous workmanship, which makes the appearance of the final product uniform in color, consistent in texture, and no uneven mottles. It greatly improves the quality of the product, far exceeding its peers in terms of quality.

Third, it has a wide range of adaptability. Whether it is a common oil-based paint or a special resin material, Surface Drier can be adapted to it and play a drying effect. This is the state of "including all rivers". Unlike many congeneric products, it is only suitable for specific materials and has many limitations. This wide range of adaptability undoubtedly expands its application scope and provides users with more choices and convenience.

Fourth, good chemical stability. During storage and use, it is not easily deteriorated by external factors. Even after changes in cold and summer, temperature and humidity, its performance is still stable as ever, just like "stable as Mount Tai", which saves users from many troubles caused by product deterioration and ensures smooth and unimpeded use.
