Cobalt 2‑Ethylhexanoate 8% Co CAS 136‑52‑7 is an oil‑soluble cobalt‑based primary drier. Formulated with 8% cobalt metal content, it exhibits outstanding miscibility with long oil alkyd resins and air‑drying oil paint. It catalyzes oxidative cross‑linking to speed up surface drying of coating films, delivering balanced curing speed and good storage stability for general industrial and decorative paint formulations.
Cobalt 2‑Ethylhexanoate 8% Co CAS 136‑52‑7 is an oil‑soluble metal carboxylate drier specially optimized for long oil alkyd and oil paint systems. It functions as a primary surface drier to trigger oxidative polymerization of unsaturated resin molecules once the coating film exposes to air. The 8% cobalt concentration provides medium‑fast drying activity, well balanced to avoid over‑crazing or wrinkling on paint surface. It mixes homogeneously with alkyd resins and hydrocarbon solvents, maintaining consistent catalytic performance throughout batch production.
