BxPB Paint Drier (Lead Replacement)
BxPB Paint Drier is a specialized industrial additive designed as a non-toxic, lead-free alternative to traditional lead-based paint driers. It contains 36% active metal content primarily composed of bismuth and other metals, formulated to accelerate the drying and curing process of oil-based paints, varnishes, and coatings. The product improves film formation, reduces drying times, and enhances the durability and gloss of finished surfaces without the health and environmental hazards associated with lead compounds. BxPB36% Paint Drier is commonly used in architectural, industrial, and automotive coatings as a safer substitute for lead-based driers.
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 is a white to pale yellow liquid, soluble in water, known primarily as a metal carboxylate used as a drying agent and corrosion inhibitor. 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.
Cobalt Drier
Cobalt Drier is a metal-based drying agent primarily composed of cobalt salts (commonly cobalt octoate or cobalt naphthenate). It is widely used as a catalyst to accelerate the drying (oxidative curing) of oils, alkyd resins, and varnishes in coatings and paints. This drier promotes polymerization and cross-linking of unsaturated fatty acids in drying oils upon exposure to air, significantly reducing drying times and improving film hardness and durability. Cobalt driers are essential additives in industrial, decorative, and automotive coatings due to their effectiveness at low concentrations and compatibility with various resin systems.
Cobalt Octoate
Cobalt Octoate is a liquid metal drying agent solution consisting of 10% cobalt octoate dissolved in an organic solvent carrier (typically mineral spirits or similar hydrocarbon solvent). It functions as a highly efficient catalyst to accelerate the oxidative curing and drying of alkyd resins, oils, and varnishes in coatings and paints. By promoting cross-linking and polymerization of unsaturated fatty acids in drying oils upon exposure to oxygen, it significantly reduces drying time and enhances film hardness, gloss, and durability. Cobalt Octoate 10% is widely used in industrial and decorative coatings, inks, and adhesives, valued for its strong catalytic activity even at low concentrations.
Lead Drier
 Lead Drier is a chemical additive primarily used in the coatings and paints industry to accelerate the drying and curing process of oil-based paints, varnishes, and coatings. It functions as a catalytic agent that promotes the oxidative polymerization of drying oils, reducing the drying time and improving the film formation. Lead driers are traditionally lead-based salts such as lead naphthenate or lead octoate, valued for their effectiveness at low concentrations. Due to toxicity concerns, their use is increasingly regulated and often replaced by safer alternatives.
Lead Octoate Drum
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.
Manganese Octate Drier
Manganese Octate Drier is a metal-organic compound commonly used as an oxidative catalyst in alkyd and oil-based coating systems. It is a manganese salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (octanoic acid) dissolved in a compatible organic solvent, typically white spirit or hydrocarbon thinner. At a 10% metal concentration, this drier functions as a primary oxidative (surface) drier, accelerating the polymerization and hardening of unsaturated oils and alkyd resins upon exposure to air. It exhibits a dark brown to violet color, has low viscosity, and is highly effective in small doses.
Zicronium Octoate
 Zirconium Octoate is a metal carboxylate solution comprising zirconium ions complexed with octoic acid at an 18% zirconium concentration. It serves as an effective crosslinking and curing agent in coatings, adhesives, and sealants, enhancing film hardness, chemical resistance, and durability. This zirconium-based additive is valued for its catalytic properties in accelerating the curing of various polymer systems, especially in automotive and industrial applications.
Zinc Octoate
Zinc Octoate is a metal carboxylate solution containing approximately 10% zinc content, derived from zinc and 2-ethylhexanoic acid (octoic acid). It functions as an effective curing agent, catalyst, and crosslinker in various polymer systems such as paints, coatings, adhesives, and rubber compounds. This compound improves film hardness, drying times, and overall durability of finished products, making it widely used in industrial and manufacturing processes.
