Product Overview

Calcium Octoate is a calcium-based metal carboxylate commonly used as an auxiliary drier in solvent-based paints, enamels, varnishes, and alkyd coating systems. It works alongside primary driers such as cobalt octoate to improve coating performance and ensure uniform drying.

Due to its ability to enhance pigment suspension, improve film hardness, and reduce wrinkling defects, Calcium Octoate is extensively used in decorative paints, industrial coatings, wood finishes, protective coatings, and printing inks.

Its excellent compatibility with alkyd resins and coating formulations makes it a valuable raw material in paint manufacturing.
