Usage

Chemical Properties

Cobalt octoate is a purple liquid. It is mainly used as a drier for paints and inks, a curing accelerator for unsaturated polyester resins, a stabilizer for polyvinyl chloride, and a catalyst for polymerization reactions.

Uses

Cobalt octoate is the most active surface drier. It has strong oxygen transport ability to promote the drying of the coating film. It has the strongest catalytic drying performance among similar catalysts. Compared with cobalt naphthenate with the same content, the viscosity is reduced, the fluidity is good, and the color is good. Light, suitable for high-grade, white or light-colored paints and light-colored unsaturated polyester resins. The careful use of Cobalt octoate gives the paint film a good gloss, free from frosting tendency.

THE DIRECT ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF SOME TRANSITION METAL CARBOXYLATES

The transition metal carboxylates M(O2CR)n (M=Cr, R=C2H5, C6H5, n=3; M=Mn, Fe, Ni, R=CH3, C2H5, C6H5, n-C7H15, n=2, not all combinations) have been prepared by oxidising suitable metal anodes electrochemically in solutions of RCOOH in acetonitrile.With Co and Cu, a wide range of carboxylic acids (R=C2H5, c-C3H5, c-C5H9, C6H5, n-C4H9, n-C7H15, 2-ethylhexanoic, oleic, linoleic) has been used succesfully to give M(O2CR)2.The advantages of the method are discussed.The preparation of Cu(O2CR)2 involves the prior formation of CuO2CR at the anode, followed by oxidation by the solvent.
