6% Cobalt Octoate

Cobalt Octoate. Acts as an oxidative catalyst and drier. It is a clean, violet liquid without suspended matter. It promotes fast surface drying of polyunsaturated oil compounds present in paints and varnishes. It is combined with other metal driers to favor film through-drying. It produces an optical whitening effect on materials to which it is added. In comparison to linoleate, phthalates and naphthenates, it provides better color, odor, stability and viscosity. It shows lower price level in comparison to synthetic acids and metallic salts like those prepared with iso-acids as well as neo-acids. Enables high metal concentration with superior quality and reproducibility. Recommended dosage is 0.03-0.10 %w/w cobalt metal on resin NV.
