faster drying paint film due to driers or wax?

Can wax speed drying of oil paint films?

There is a brand of oil paint containing sunflower oil and a little wax that I am curious about.  It has been suggested that it has a quick drying time because of the wax but I’m wondering if it is due to additional driers, both surface and through driers, because of the semi-drying sunflower oil.  

Any thoughts on the cause of drying or the effect of sunflower oil in the paint film?

Thank you for your help,

Richard

 

 

PS…It doesn’t use sunflower oil exclusively but also has linseed oil its a binder.
