Waterborne Polymeric Cobalt Drier is hydrophilic modified polymeric cobalt drier free from 2‑ethylhexanoate, specially developed for water‑reducible alkyd coatings. Traditional waterborne cobalt driers containing 2‑EHA face strict EU regulatory restrictions. This product adopts special polymeric ligand structure to realize good water dispersibility and anti‑hydrolysis stability without 2‑EHA ingredients, achieving REACH‑compliant low‑label status. It acts as primary drier to initiate oxidative c
Waterborne Polymeric Cobalt Drier belongs to 2‑EHA‑free water‑dispersible polymeric cobalt primary drier for oxidative‑cure water‑reducible alkyd coatings. Conventional waterborne cobalt driers based on 2‑ethylhexanoate trigger strict REACH CLP labelling obligations for paint manufacturers. This drier uses hydrophilic polymeric cobalt complex technology, removes 2‑EHA raw‑material source, maintains catalytic surface‑drying activity, and gains stable dispersibility in aqueous coating environment with improved hydrolysis resistance. As primary drier, it accelerates surface oxidation reaction of alkyd unsaturated chains, cannot be used alone. It must cooperate with matched waterborne auxiliary driers to improve inner‑layer curing, final hardness and closed‑can storage stability. It features excellent compatibility with medium‑oil and long‑oil water‑reducible alkyd resins and keeps consistent batch‑to‑batch quality.
