Are you tired of using lead driers in your painting projects, only to find that they aren't as effective as you need them to be? Do you struggle with achieving the perfect through-dry in your oil and alkyd paints? Look no further than the Zirconium Drier from Rublev Colours, the premier choice for artists and craftsmen who demand the best. This concentrated blend of metal carboxylates in mineral spirits contains 12% zirconium and 5% calcium, making it the perfect replacement for lead driers. When used in conjunction with cobalt or manganese driers, the Zirconium Drier improves through-dry and promotes the drying of paint film.



But that's not all - the Zirconium Drier also improves gloss and color when substituted for lead, making it an excellent choice for artists who want to achieve a high-gloss finish. And with calcium functioning as a pigment wetting agent, you can expect improved dispersion of pigments in oil and alkyd vehicles, resulting in a harder, more durable paint film. This means that you'll get a better finish and a longer-lasting paint job.



The benefits of using the Zirconium Drier don't stop there. Not only does it improve the action of cobalt driers, but it also assists in the "through dry" of oil and alkyd paint. And because it's so effective, you only need to add a small amount to your paint - typically 0.1% to 0.3% of zirconium metal based on the weight of the binder. This makes it an economical choice for artists who want to get the best results without breaking the bank.



But what really sets the Zirconium Drier apart is its ease of use. Simply add one drop per 5ml (about 1 teaspoon) of paint and you're good to go. And because it's available in a convenient 2 fl oz size, you can try it out without committing to a large quantity. When you're ready to take your painting to the next level, the Zirconium Drier from Rublev Colours is the perfect choice.



As with any art supply, safety is important. That's why we want to remind you to use caution when handling the Zirconium Drier. It contains petroleum distillates, which can cause skin and eye irritation, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, nausea, and cracking or drying of skin. Be sure to wear safety glasses, protective clothing, and chemical-resistant rubber gloves when handling, and wash thoroughly after use. If you experience any adverse effects, seek medical attention immediately.
