Features & Benefits
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Features
- Based on metal salts of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (octoates) or their isomers
- Catalyzes redox reactions and even small additions result in the dissociation of autoxidant hydroperoxides and to a change in valency from Co2+ to Co3+
- Rapid surface drying
Applications & Uses
- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Cure Method
- Coating Type
- Dosage
- In conventional alkyd formulations, the cobalt addition is between 0.03 and 0.08 %, calculated on the solid binder. In printing inks, a combination of Octa-Soligen® Cobalt and Octa-Soligen® Manganese is recommended. The amount of cobalt is between 0.03 and 0.05 %, calculated on the solid binder. Octa-Soligen® Cobalt can also be combined with Octa-Soligen® Zirconium and Octa-Soligen® Calcium. This yields outstanding results in systems that are free from heavy metals. Irrespective of these guidelines, the addition should always be determined in preliminary trials.
