PARALOID™ B-1225DMC Resin

What is PARALOID™ B-1225DMC Resin?

A high-solids modifier for a broad range of high-solids alkyds. It is designed specifically for blending with high-solids alkyds to increase the drying speed without increasing the VOC of the system. It is also a good pigment dispersant.
