Highly Effective Paint Drier

Calcium Octoate acts as a highly effective drier in alkyd-based paints and coatings, accelerating the oxidation process and ensuring a faster drying time. Its lead-free and non-toxic composition aligns with modern safety and environmental regulations, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking efficiency and compliance.

Safe and Stable for Industrial Use

This drier is formulated for optimal stability and safety, remaining effective under recommended storage conditions. Its low viscosity and neutral pH (7.08.0) facilitate easy mixing and compatibility with most resins. Calcium Octoate is packed in high-grade HDPE drums or steel barrels, ensuring quality and minimizing contamination risks.

Versatile Application

Designed for formulations in paints, inks, and coatings, Calcium Octoate is typically used at 0.050.5% by weight. Its clear appearance and mild scent make it suitable for applications where clarity and minimal odor are crucial. The products solubility in organic solvents expands its usability across a wide range of industrial processes.

FAQs of Calcium Octoate:

Q: How is Calcium Octoate commonly used in paint and coating formulations?

A: Calcium Octoate is primarily used as a drier in alkyd-based paints, coatings, and inks. Typically, it is added at 0.050.5% by weight to promote faster drying and improve the finish of the final product.

Q: What are the main benefits of choosing Calcium Octoate over traditional lead-based driers?

A: Calcium Octoate is lead-free, non-toxic, and compliant with safety standards while offering stable performance and compatibility with most alkyds and resins. Its use minimizes health and environmental risks associated with lead driers.

Q: Where and how should Calcium Octoate be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: Store Calcium Octoate tightly sealed in HDPE drums or steel barrels, kept in a cool, dry place away from heat and open flames. Proper storage ensures its stability and maintains its 12-month shelf life.

Q: What is the recommended process for adding Calcium Octoate into a paint formulation?

A: Calcium Octoate is typically incorporated during the mixing phase of paint manufacturing. It should be blended thoroughly with other ingredients to ensure even dispersion and optimal drier performance.

Q: When does Calcium Octoate perform best in terms of temperature and application conditions?

A: It performs best at ambient temperatures under recommended storage and handling conditions, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Its stable nature ensures efficacy throughout its shelf life if these guidelines are followed.

Q: Is Calcium Octoate compatible with all types of resins and solvents?

A: Calcium Octoate is compatible with most alkyds and commonly used resins. It is also soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in water, expanding its versatility in various formulations.
