Cobalt‑Manganese Primary Drier 6%Co 6%Mn CAS 136‑52‑7 is ready‑to‑use primary drier blend containing 6% cobalt and 6% manganese metal carboxylates. Cobalt provides rapid surface oxidative drying, manganese assists catalytic curing and improves through‑drying performance. This dual‑metal primary drier is widely adopted as core curing component for solvent‑borne alkyd paints and printing inks. It can be combined with calcium, zirconium, zinc or barium auxiliary driers to complete full drier formul
Cobalt‑Manganese Primary Drier 6%Co 6%Mn CAS 136‑52‑7 belongs to pre‑formulated dual‑metal carboxylate primary drier for air‑drying alkyd paint and printing‑ink systems. Cobalt acts as dominant surface drier to trigger peroxide‑free oxidative cross‑linking on coating and ink film surface. Manganese cooperates with cobalt to enhance catalytic activity, accelerate overall curing progress and improve inner‑layer drying performance. This product only serves as primary drier, auxiliary driers such as calcium, zirconium or zinc shall be matched according to actual formulation demand. It dissolves completely in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, shows good compatibility with long‑oil, medium‑oil alkyd resins and alkyd ink binders, maintains stable storage performance and consistent batch‑to‑batch quality.
