Cobalt Octoate 6% Co (CAS 136‑52‑7) is a classic oil‑soluble primary surface drier based on cobalt 2‑ethylhexanoate. It effectively promotes oxidative cross‑linking on film surface for alkyd paint and printing ink. It features good miscibility with alkyd resins, stable drying activity and moderate curing speed, widely adopted in general‑purpose alkyd coatings and printing ink formulations.
Cobalt Octoate 6% Co CAS 136‑52‑7 is an oil‑soluble cobalt‑based primary surface drier manufactured from cobalt 2‑ethylhexanoate. When added into alkyd paint and printing ink, it catalyzes oxidative polymerization of unsaturated alkyd resin, greatly accelerating surface drying of coating film. This product shows excellent compatibility with various solvent‑borne alkyd systems. It keeps stable drier activity during storage and brings predictable surface curing effect for conventional alkyd coatings and printing inks.
