Major Uses
1, Typical applications
Use as emulsifying agent, dispersing agent.
2, Coatings
Drier in paint. Alternative to manganese naphthenate.
Suitable for air drying paint.
Usually, it is used in combination with cobalt isooctanoate and lead isooctanoate.
Can promote to form film of medium and bottom layers, the performance is lower than cobalt isooctanoate, higher than lead isooctanoate.
