Borchers® Deca Cobalt 12

Cobalt carboxylate dissolved in white-spirit containing less than 2% aromatics. Acts as a primary metal drier. Exhibits acceleration of rapid surface drying and, in combination with a secondary drier such as zirconium, barium or zinc, uniform through-drying of the paint film. It is based on metal salt (cobalt) of neodecanoic acid (neodecanoates). Cobalt catalyzes redox reactions and even small amounts lead to the dissociation of auto-oxidant hydroperoxides. Used in all oxidative systems, whether air- or forced-drying. Highly recommended for use in solvent borne and solvent-free architectural paints, industrial coatings, stains, varnishes, oil-based inks and artists' oil paints. Also, applicable for automotive coatings. It complies with FDA.
