The MECS is usually the largest dedicated coatings event in the Middle East region for raw materials suppliers and equipment manufacturers for the coatings industry but this time over 80% of the visitors were Egyptians.

During this exhibition, DELTA launched 6 new products:

MORDRY Lithium 2%: Lithium carboxylates promote through-drying. They are often used in high solids coatings and water-dispersible alkyds. They do not lose their effectiveness even in cool environments.

MORDRY 345: MORDRY 345 is a stabilized, ready-to-use lead-free blend of metals (Lithium containing) suitable for use in a wide range of decorative paint systems. It is characterized by giving lighter colors in clear varnishes and white based enamels The pre-stabilized mix drier can eliminate problems associated with coatings such as gelling or instability resulting in degradation of drying performance. It offers also a cost benefit in addition to its ease of use and reduction of stock levels.

MORDRY 420: MORDRY 420 can be efficiently applied in clear and brightly pigmented polyurethane-modified alkyds and in conventional alkyds, which tend to discolor As compared to Cobalt octoate, MORDRY 420 can offer superior properties such as: Minimization of discoloration of clear urethane-modified alkyds in can, improvement of alkali resistance, increase in yellowing resistance of air-drying alkyd finishes especially those subjected to prolonged heat or alkaline fumes. It also helps in the prevention of “loss of dry” on aging.
