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.
