| abstract |
The present invention is directed to an oxidative curable coating composition in contact with a combination for use in catalysing the curing of an oxidative curable coating composition comprising an oxidative curable coating composition, particularly an oxidative curable alkyd resin. The formulations described herein include triazacyclononane-based chelants; Manganese (II), (III) or (IV) salts; And an alcohol or ketone, wherein the alcohol or ketone typically acts as a solvent for the salt and the chelate. The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the oxidative curable coating composition of the invention, a cured coating composition thereof, and a process comprising applying such a coating composition to a substrate. |
