METALLIC CARBOXYLATES- DRIERSAUXILIARY (SECONDARY) DRIERS : CALCIUM, MANGANESE, ZINC, ETC Drier metals are traditional divided into two groups: active (or primary) and auxiliary (or secondary) though it is an arbitary classification. Driers that promote oxygen absorption followed by peroxide formation and decomposition are termed active: auxiliary driers, while exhibiting no catalytic act on on their own, appear to synergistically enhance the functioning of active drier metals. It has been assumed that secondary driers function by forming complexes with primary drier metals.
Driers are one of the most important additives in paints that speed up the autoxidation process, improve the aesthetics and performance of the final product. With a wide range of driers we serve solvent and alkyd based paint and inks manufacturers. Arihant Metallica custom manufactures paint driers in various concentrations, metal blends and solvents to meet customer needs and applications.

FRP is frequently used in highly corrosive environments as it is inherently corrosion resistant and does not rust like steel. So why cover it with a protective coating? One of the primary reasons is to provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) light. Exposure to UV degrades resin at the molecular level by breaking the carbon chains of the polymer. An analogy for the degradation is the chalking of epoxy coatings when exposed to sunlight. In the case of FRP, as the breakdown of the outer surface continues over time, glass fibers are exposed and the mechanical properties of the laminate are reduced. If the surface is already degraded from UV, coatings can be applied to stop further deterioration.
FRP is also coated to match the color coding at a facility. Many large industrial facilities have specific color codes for equipment and piping, such as red for fire protection systems, blue for cooling water, and yellow for natural gas. FRP can be easily coated to meet the facility’s color scheme.
FRP is also coated for aesthetics. Over time the FRP will fade and the gloss will be reduced. Coatings will provide a fresh appearance to the item, including high gloss, if desired.

Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the “matrix”[citation needed] or “support”). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used.
In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called “a painting”). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects.
Painting is an important form of visual art, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture, narration, and abstraction. Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract, narrative, symbolistic (as in Symbolist art), emotive (as in Expressionism) or political in nature
Anti-skinning agents are therefore added to solvent-borne air-drying coatings to prevent in-can skinning during storage by prohibiting the drier effect until application of the coating. Methyl ethyl ketoxime is far the most used anti-skinning agent in paints, where volatile types are preferred.
Polymeric plasticizers provide excellent resistance to oil and solvent extraction, excellent low volatility, and high aging stability for flexible PVC. They are mainly used for heat resistance cable compounds, gaskets, and other applications that require resistance to oil extraction.
