Polymeric Cobalt Drier 4% Co is polymeric‑structured cobalt primary drier free from 2‑ethylhexanoate. Traditional cobalt 2‑ethylhexanoate faces strict REACH regulatory restrictions. This product adopts special polymeric cobalt ligand structure to retain effective catalytic drying activity while removing 2‑EHA ingredients, achieving low‑label regulatory classification. It needs to be compounded with auxiliary driers such as zirconium and calcium to optimize through‑curing, hardness and anti‑skinn
Polymeric Cobalt Drier 4% Co belongs to 2‑EHA‑free polymeric cobalt primary drier developed for regulatory‑compliant alkyd coating production. Conventional cobalt octoate relies on 2‑ethylhexanoate ligand, which brings strict REACH CLP labelling obligations. This drier uses optimized polymeric cobalt complex structure, maintains cobalt‑based oxidative catalysis capacity without 2‑EHA content, realizes low‑label compliance status. As primary drier, it mainly accelerates surface oxidation cross‑linking, and must cooperate with matched auxiliary driers to improve inner‑layer curing and storage stability. It dissolves well in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, features excellent compatibility with long‑oil and medium‑oil alkyd resins, keeps stable batch‑to‑batch quality.
