Calcuim Octoate is a drier for coatings based on Calcium salt of saturated branched mixture acids in mineral spirit.

Functions to improve the drying characteristics at low temperatures and the resistance to wrinkling as a result of high levels of cobalt. It is considered as an auxiliary drier used most often in combination with Lead, Zirconium and/or Cobalt driers.

Lead Octoate functions as drier, which promotes polymerization for drying oils to hard insoluble films.

Drying of the film through its entire thickness is mainly caused by Lead and is therefore also known as “Thorough Drier”.

Manganese driers are intermediate in activity since they have both oxidity and polymerizing properties.

Generally used in combination with Lead and Cobalt, it helps in producing hard, tough and durable films.

Zirconium mainly replaces Lead and serves as “Auxiliary” drier, generally used in combination with Cobalt, Manganese and/or Calcium to promote through drying of the coating.
