ECOS Mix 353 Neo Aqua is a cobalt polymer mix drier for water-based applications. It combines 2% cobalt with barium and zirconium. The product is a proven safe alternative for traditional cobalt-based mix driers. It contains the cobalt polymer ECOS ND15 and 2-ethylhexanoate-free secondary and auxiliary driers. The combination of Co, Ba and Zr in the mix drier provides a good surface drying, good film formation, and through drying of the coating. Barium prevents loss of drying activity and allows enhanced gloss.
