Basic Calcium Octoate 10% Ca CAS 136‑51‑6 is high‑content basic calcium 2‑ethylhexanoate liquid co‑drier with 10% calcium metal content. Specially developed for highly filled alkyd dispersion systems containing massive mineral fillers and pigments. It effectively improves wetting and dispersion of solid particles, reduces pigment flocculation, settling and floating‑flooding defects. Matched with cobalt and manganese main driers, it stabilizes oxidative curing reaction of filled alkyd paints. Hig
Basic Calcium Octoate 10% Ca CAS 136‑51‑6 is high‑concentration basic metal carboxylate auxiliary drier for oxidative alkyd coating systems. It cannot realize curing effect independently and must cooperate with cobalt‑manganese primary drier combinations. For highly filled alkyd formulas with high loading of talc, calcium carbonate and other mineral fillers, solid particles are easy to aggregate and settle. This product optimizes interfacial wetting between resin and solid particles, suppresses flocculation and sedimentation. Meanwhile it participates in oxidative cross‑linking to stabilize overall curing system. It dissolves well in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, maintains good compatibility with long‑oil and medium‑oil alkyd resins, and keeps stable catalytic property during storage and industrial batch manufacturing.
