Cobalt Octoate

Presence of Cobalt Octoate during the hardening process of Fibre Reinforced plastic (commonly known as FRP) helps fasten the drying process in a controlled manner while ensuring quality of the finished product. Also, as a catalyst it helps form stronger bonds in the material and provide clearer product allowing for better finish. Such finish is preferably for locations where high quality products are required.

We are engaged in providing Cobalt Octoate to the customers. The Cobalt Octoate Cobalt is a powerful oxidation catalyst. Cobalt Octoate is therefore combined with other metals such as Lead, Manganese, Calcium, Zirconium, etc traditionally and with Aluminium or Lithium in modem high solids coatings. Cobalt Octoate has a bluish-violet/purple color. However, the yellow color of oil and resin counter this and resultant coatings have increased whiteness. Cobalt Octoate therefore is invariably preferred in white coatings.

Major Applications

• Paint
• Printing Ink
• Varnishes
• Unsaturated Polyester resin
• FRP etc.

Use

• The wrinkling effect produced by high cobalt levels is taken advantage of when producing alkyd based wrinkling enamels.
