Anti-skinning Agents

When air-drying paints and coatings come in contact with atmospheric oxygen, they tend to form surface skin. Anti-skinning agents are therefore added as coating additives to induce uniform drying, prevent skin formation and shrinkage. Chemically, these agents are antioxidants which evaporate along with the solvents in the drying process.
