PROPERTIES AND USES: 

It is an auxiliary drier and is used in conjunction with the active driers. It retards surface dry but promotes through drying by keeping film surface open for long time. This also helps to eliminate webbing and frosting. It stablizes lead, promotes gloss, colour  retention and flim hardness. It is a good dispersing and wetting agent. It can be used as fungicide also. It prevents wrinkling when used with cobalt, lead and manganese.
