Abstract: The present invention concerns the curing and hardening of liquids comprising unsaturated resins, a peroxide and a chelant capable of chelating at least one transition metal ion through three, four, or five nitrogen atoms, which chelants may each optionally be complexed with one or two transition metal ions, typically iron or manganese ions. The invention also provides methods and formulations for making associated compositions, compositions resultant from the curing of such liquids and associated kits comprising two or more compositions physically separated from one another, which may be used to provide curable liquids when mixed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxidatively curable coating formulation comprising an oxidatively curable alkyd-based resin and a bispidon-based chelant, which chelant may optionally be complexed with a suitable transition metal ion. The formulations may be paints or other oxidatively curable coating compositions. The invention also provides methods for making such formulations and compositions resultant from the curing of such formulations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oxidatively curable coating formulation comprising an oxidatively curable alkyd-based resin and unsymmetrically substituted 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-based chelant, which chelant may optionally be complexed with a suitable transition metal ion, particularly manganese. The formulations may be paints or other oxidatively curable coating compositions. The invention also provides methods for making such formulations and compositions resultant from the curing of such formulations.
