Cobalt Octoate 10% Co CAS 136‑52‑7 is oil‑soluble cobalt‑based primary drier with 10% cobalt metal content. It is specially developed for medium oil alkyd industrial paint and printing ink. It effectively catalyzes air‑oxidative cross‑linking of unsaturated alkyd resins to realize rapid surface drying. It features high catalytic activity, excellent resin compatibility and stable batch performance, widely used in industrial coatings and ink manufacturing.
Cobalt Octoate 10% Co CAS 136‑52‑7 is oil‑soluble cobalt 2‑ethylhexanoate serving as high‑efficiency primary drier. Under air exposure, it triggers oxidative polymerization of unsaturated groups inside medium‑oil alkyd resins, greatly shortening surface drying time of paint film. Its 10% cobalt content delivers stronger drying activity than lower‑cobalt grades. It shows favorable miscibility with medium‑oil alkyd, hydrocarbon solvents and common ink binders, maintaining stable catalytic performance during storage and production.
