12% Rare Earths Octoate

Octoate. Acts as a drier. It is a clean liquid without suspended matter. In comparison to linoleate, phthalates and naphthenates, it provides better color, odor, stability and viscosity. Cerium in combination with cobalt driers provides an outstanding drying capability in low temperature and high humidity environments. Its yellowing tendency requires control in sensitive white enamels, clear color and varnishes. In oven enamels, it improves flexibility and hardness of the applied films. It is recommended to improve paint film polymerization and through-drying. Recommended dosage is 0.02 and 0.10 %w/w rare earth on polymerizable solids.
