Lead Octoate Drum
Whatsapp Order
Lead Octoate Drum is a viscous liquid solution containing 30% lead octoate, a metal soap derived from lead and 2-ethylhexanoic acid (also known as octanoic acid). It is primarily used as a drying agent (drier) in paints, varnishes, and coatings to accelerate the curing process by promoting oxidation and polymerization of drying oils. This product is widely employed in industrial coatings to improve drying times, hardness, and durability of surface films. Packaged typically in 250kg drums, Lead Octoate 30% is handled with care due to the toxic nature of lead compounds.

Calcium Drier
Calcium Drier is a metal-based drying agent primarily composed of calcium salts of fatty acids (commonly calcium octoate or calcium linoleate), widely used as a siccative in paints, varnishes, inks, and coatings. It functions as a catalyst to accelerate the oxidative cross-linking and polymerization of drying oils, leading to faster drying times and improved film hardness and durability. Calcium Driers are valued for their good compatibility with other driers, low toxicity, and efficient catalytic activity at low concentrations. They are commonly used alone or in combination with other metal driers such as cobalt or manganese driers for optimized drying performance.
Calcium Octoate 10%
Calcium Octoate 10% is an aqueous solution containing 10% calcium octoate, a calcium salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (octanoic acid).

It functions as a calcium-based drier in coatings, paints, varnishes, and printing inks to accelerate the curing process by catalyzing the oxidation and polymerization of drying oils. Due to its stability and efficacy at low concentrations, it is widely preferred as a non-toxic alternative to traditional lead or cobalt-based driers.
