COBALT OCTOATE

Cobalt Octoate is a Cobalt source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic Isooctanoate 
Packaging, Lab Scalecompounds). Cobalt Octoate is commonly used in various catalysts and catalytic reagents for organic synthesis. It is generally immediately available in most volumes.
 Ultra high purity and high purity forms may be considered. Cobalt Octoate is one of numerous organo-metallic compounds (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic 
compounds) sold by Ataman Kimya.

Cobalt Octoate
CAS #: 136-52-7
Cobalt is an extremely active and the most widely used drier in paints, coatings and inks. It is primarily an oxidation catalyst and acts as a surface drier. Cobalt is an effective accelerator for polyester. It is also used as a catalyst for chemical reactions, as a rubber adhesion promoter, and a polyurethane catalyst.

Synonyms: Cobalt 2-ethylhexanoic acid; cobalt-2-ethylhexanoate; cobalt-2-ethylhexoate

COBALT OCTOATE 
DESCRIPTION: An auxiliary siccative. A strong oxidizing catalyst for drying oils. The
most active surface drier.
APPEARANCE: Transparent dark blue liquid.
APPLICATIONS: Miscible with organic solvents and oils. Suitable to be used as drier
with oily paints, as accelerator with polyester resins and as adhesive with rubber to
metal. Applied together with other drier metals.
USAGE & AMOUNT: Recommended usage amount is between 0,1% - 2% based on
solid content(consedering all of our products -6%,8%,10%,12%-). Used together with
Lead. Also used with Zirconium and Calcium to improve surface drying, in order to
provide environment friendly systems.
PACKAGING: 50 kgs PE Pail,170 kgs Steel Barrel.
HANDLING & STORAGE: Must be kept between +5 C and +40 C. Keep pails tightly
closed. Store and handle in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from sources of heat,
ignition and direct sunlight in original packaging. Provide grounding and venting in
order to prevent static electricity build-up. Avoid any contact with Organic Peroxides.
SHELF LIFE: 1 year for packages at recommended storage conditions.

Cobalt octoate is the most active surface drier. Cobalt effects rapid surface drying and is generally used in conjunction with auxiliary driers. It is usually added at 0.05 to 0.4 % 
based on vehicle solids. It is a strong oxidant It is compatible with all surfaces coating media. Atmospheric humidity does not affect Cobalt drier. This unique feature prevents
water vapor present in atmosphere from penetrating the paint film. Cobalt octoate being the most effective drier promotes polymerization of media, hardens the paint film, improves gloss and water resistance and reduces brittleness of film. The careful use of Cobalt octoate gives the paint film a good gloss, free from frosting tendency. This drier is a universal drier, which is essential in all the media and is capable of performing individually giving reasonable properties to the paint film.

In air-drying type insulating varnishes use of Cobalt octoate increases water resistance, but the excessive use of Cobait octoate causes brittleness and early failure of insulation.
 Cobalt octoate accelerates the catalytic action of Methyl ethyl ketone (M.E.K.) Peroxide to polymerize unsaturated polyester resin.
