It is designed to meet global regulatory standards while delivering fast drying, reduced yellowing, higher flash point, and improved hardness—even under ambient curing conditions. With up to 92% biobased carbon, the catalyst supports sustainability goals and safe handling practices. It expands Borchers’ range of high-performance, cobalt-free solutions for solventborne and solvent-free alkyd systems. The product joins existing alternatives such as Borchi® OXY-Coat and Borchi® Phoenix.
