Basic Calcium Octoate 4% Ca CAS 136‑51‑6 is basic calcium 2‑ethylhexanoate liquid co‑drier containing 4% calcium metal content. Main function focuses on pigment wetting and dispersion in alkyd coating systems. It effectively reduces pigment floating, flooding and flocculation phenomena. When matched with cobalt and manganese primary driers, it stabilizes oxidative curing reaction, improves paint film leveling and gloss. Widely used for general solvent‑borne alkyd paint, anti‑rust enamel and deco

Product Detail

Product Overview

Basic Calcium Octoate 4% Ca CAS 136‑51‑6 belongs to basic metal carboxylate auxiliary drier for oxidative alkyd systems. It cannot trigger curing independently and must be combined with cobalt‑manganese main driers. Apart from auxiliary curing effect, its core advantage lies in pigment wetting capacity. It helps inorganic and organic pigments disperse uniformly within resin medium, suppresses pigment floating and flooding defects during paint storage and film forming. It dissolves well in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, shows good compatibility with long‑oil, medium‑oil alkyd resins, and keeps stable performance during storage and paint production.

Key Features

‑ 4% calcium content for mild and stable auxiliary curing activity ‑ Excellent pigment wetting and dispersion performance for multi‑type pigments ‑ Effectively inhibits pigment floating, flooding and flocculation defects ‑ Perfect synergistic effect with cobalt and manganese primary driers ‑ Stabilizes whole curing system, improves film leveling and surface gloss ‑ Good solubility in mineral spirits, xylene and common coating solvents ‑ Fine compatibility with long‑oil and medium‑oil solvent‑borne alkyd resins ‑ Reliable batch‑to‑batch consistency for industrial paint mass‑production

Technical Specifications

‑ Product Name: Basic Calcium Octoate (Basic Calcium 2‑Ethylhexanoate) ‑ Calcium Content: 4% Ca ‑ CAS No.: 136‑51‑6 ‑ Appearance: Pale yellow transparent liquid ‑ Solubility: Soluble in aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and alkyd resins ‑ Density: 0.92‑0.98 g/cm³ @25℃ ‑ Viscosity: Low‑viscosity liquid ‑ Flash Point: ≥60℃ ‑ Moisture: ≤0.2%

Application Scenarios

‑ General solvent‑borne long‑oil and medium‑oil alkyd coatings ‑ Alkyd anti‑rust enamel and industrial protective paints ‑ Decorative alkyd paint suffering from pigment floating‑flooding problems ‑ Composite drier formula cooperating with cobalt and manganese main driers ‑ Pigment‑loaded alkyd systems requiring improved wetting performance

Usage Recommendation

‑ Typical dosage: 0.1%‑0.4% calculated on total paint weight (as metal calcium) ‑ Premix with other drier additives before adding into coating formula ‑ Do not add during high‑temperature resin synthesis process ‑ Standalone use is ineffective, cobalt‑manganese primary driers are required ‑ Adjust dosage according to pigment type and floating‑flooding test result ‑ Complete full laboratory evaluation on dispersion, leveling and curing property before mass‑scale production

Package & Storage

‑ Standard package: 25kg / 200kg metal drum ‑ Store in cool, dry and well‑ventilated warehouse, keep away from heat source and open flame ‑ Tightly seal container after opening to prevent solvent volatilization and performance deterioration ‑ Shelf life: 12 months under proper storage conditions

Safety Notes

‑ Combustible liquid, keep away from all ignition sources. ‑ Avoid skin contact and eye splash. Wear chemical‑resistant gloves and safety goggles during handling. ‑ Avoid inhalation of vapor and mist, ensure effective local ventilation. ‑ Refer to SDS for full guidance on handling, transportation and emergency disposal.
