BXPB36% Paint Drier in Burundi and East Africa – System Star Industrial Products
BXPB36% Paint Drier, also known as BXPB 36% lead-replacement paint drier, is a high-activity metal drier whose design is to accelerate the drying and curing of oil-based paints. It contains around 36 % active metal content, primarily composed of bismuth and other non-lead metals, making it a safer alternative to traditional lead driers.
In Burundi and across East Africa, System Star Industrial Products supplies premium BXPB36% Paint Drier that meets rigorous performance and safety standards. It is packaged in sealed, chemical-resistant containers to preserve activity and prevent contamination. Each batch includes Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and Technical Data Sheet (TDS) documentation to ensure correct use and handling.

Applications of BXPB36% Paint Drier
| Industry | Application |
|---|---|
| Paints & Coatings | Functions as a primary through or secondary drier to improve drying times and film hardness. |
| Industrial Coatings | Suitable for use in alkyd, enamel, and other air-dry coating systems where faster cure is needed. |
| Decorative & Maintenance Paints | Helps the paint film to “through-dry” rather than only surface drying, reducing tackiness and improving durability. |
| Coating Formulations | Can be included in drier packages or blends to optimize drying behavior and reduce lead usage. |
Product Highlights
-
High Active Metal Level (36 %) – provides potent drying catalysis.
Lead-Free / Lead Replacement – formulated to replace traditional lead driers with lower toxicity alternatives.
Good Compatibility – works well with common drier systems (cobalt, calcium, manganese).
Improves Through Drying – enhances cure throughout the paint film, not just at surface.
Professional Packaging & Documentation – sealed containers with full SDS and TDS for safety and traceability.
FAQs about BXPB36% Paint Drier
Is this a lead drier?
No — It is a lead-replacement drier, designed to deliver performance similar to lead driers while avoiding the health and regulatory risks of lead.How do I dose it in paint formulations?
You would dose based on the weight of resin solids and desired metal content. You may combine it with cobalt, calcium, or manganese driers to optimize drying behavior.Is it safe to handle?
Yes, when you handle with proper protective equipment (gloves, goggles, ventilation). Always follow the SDS guidelines.Can it help prevent surface skinning or slow drying?
Yes — when properly balanced in a drier system, it helps promote uniform drying through the film and reduce issues like surface tack.Where can I get it?
