| abstract |
The invention relates to a drier composition for an autoxidizable alkyd based coating composition, comprising: a) at least one Fe complex comprising Fe and at least one nitrogen donor ligand, wherein said at least nitrogen donor ligand is selected from the group comprising tridentate, tetradentate, pentadentate and hexadentate nitrogen donor ligands; b) at least one metal salt of a carboxylic acid, wherein the metal is selected from the group comprising: Mn, Ce, V, and Cu, preferably Mn; and c) at least one ligand comprising at least one moiety selected from the group comprising 1,4,7-tri-azacyclononanyl, 2,2'-bipyridyl, 1,10-phenantrolinyl, imidazolyl, pyrazolyl, porphyrinyl, aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic amines. The present invention also relates to coating composition comprising the drier composition, and the uses thereof. |
