Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Features
- Shortens the surface drying of coatings, varnishes, stains and inks
- Results in uniform through-drying of the paint film when used in combination with a secondary drier such as zirconium, barium or zinc
- Catalyzes redox reactions which result in the dissociation of hydroperoxides from a change in valence from Co2+ to Co3+
- Rapid surface drying
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Coating Type
- Ink & Toner Type
- Dosage
- In conventional alkyd formulations, the cobalt addition is between 0.03 and 0.08 % metal based on the vehicle solids of the coating and will vary upon the composition of the binder. In printing inks, a combination of Cobalt and Manganese driers is recommended. The amount of cobalt is between 0.03 and 0.05 % based on binder solids. Cobalt driers can also be combined with Zirconium and Calcium driers for optimum surface and through dry. The specific drier blend should be experimentally determined.
