Anti Skinning

About Anti Skinning

We all know that the paint industry is one of the most important industries that has a wide range of uses today. In this industry, a variety of chemical raw materials are used for the better production of colors, and one of these very important materials is anti-coating.

Anti Skinning specifications

Anti Skinning has a liquid appearance that is almost yellow in color and the most common type used in the paint industry is (methyl ethyl ketoxime). This product is usually used in air-dry colors, which prevents the appearance of the top. As it is clear from the name of this product, it prevents the process of closing colors, which, of course, is a completely natural and undesirable phenomenon.

Application of Anti Skinning in the paint industry

When the colors are exposed to air and oxygen, they change their state and a thick substance is created on them, and the addition of an anti-coat compound in the colors prevents these layers from forming on the upper part of the paint with a high thickness. This product is usually used in the production of resin, urethane alkyd paints.

It is interesting to know that anti-coats actually increase the capacity of the surface of the paint to prevent its reaction with oxygen and its oxidation; Therefore, with the addition of anti-coat, the capacity of the color increases and it no longer reacts against oxygen. Currently, the best and easiest way to keep colors from oxidizing and forming a top is to add this product.

All kinds of Anti Skinning compounds

Most of the anti-surfactants are divided into two categories: oximes and phenols, the performance of phenols is very fast, and its main function is in the production of printing inks, which have a nasty and pungent smell. The next case is oximes, this product is used in most oil and resin-based paints, and unlike phenols, the limitation of its use is very small, and one of the most important advantages of using it is its mild smell.

There are several factors that cause the top to close in the colors, the most important of which can be mentioned is the oxidation of the color in the can; It also becomes like a gel due to the loss of solvents.
