Boysen Quick Drying Enamel is our premier enamel paint for wood and metal surfaces. It’s the go-to paint to ensure a durable coating with good hiding property. It has a fast-drying time which is where it gets its name from. But if you read the technical data, you would see that it has a dry time of 5 hours for the touch coating, and 8 to 12 hours for subsequent recoats. That’s kind of a long dry time, you may think. So why is Boysen Quick Drying Enamel named that way?
Different Drying Times for Different Formulations
Boysen Quick Drying Enamel is named because of how it dries much more quickly than other oil-based paints. Usually, standard enamel paints in the market dry for 12 to 24 hours. That’s already a whole day, but Boysen Quick Drying Enamel cuts that waiting time in half!
Addressing the elephant in the room, you might say that Boysen Quick Drying Enamel isn’t really that quick drying, especially compared to water-based paints like Boysen Roofgard and Boysen Permacoat Latex with a dry time of 1 to 2 hours.
Well, that’s because water-based acrylic paints generally dry faster. Enamel paints, though, are oil-based and use a different chemical to properly distribute the paint components and ensure adherence on the surface. The solvents used don’t evaporate as fast as water, so the drying time takes longer. There is also a curing time involved where the paint is dry to the touch but takes a while before being optimal. All paints have a curing time, with Boysen Quick Drying Enamel achieving full cure after 3 days.
And you get the faster drying time along with all the benefits expected from enamel paint—good adhesion, high-class durability, and a long-lasting gloss finish—exactly what you need for wood and metal substrates.
