Cerium 2-Ethylhexanoate (Cerium Octoate) CAS 56797-01-4

Introduction

The main component of cerium driers is cerium carboxylate soap, and its drying characteristics are consistent with those of rare earth driers.
Cerium driers and rare earth driers have both surface drying and bottom drying properties, and have coordination properties, which can promote the actual drying of alkyd resin and other coatings. Rare earth and cerium driers can replace lead, manganese, zinc, calcium and other driers, and their activity is higher than that of lead and zirconium. Their dosage is equivalent to 40%-80% of the total amount of lead, manganese, zinc, calcium and other driers, which can reduce the cost of coatings.

Cerium 2-ethylhexanoate as a new liquid dryer, it has stable properties and can substitute lead dryers. It is used as a brightener and it can substitute a rare-earth dryer.

Product Specifications

Application 

Cerium 2-ethylhexanoate as a new liquid dryer, it has stable properties and can substitute lead dryers. It is used as a brightener and it can substitute a rare-earth dryer.

Rare earth and cerium driers are particularly effective in coatings that dry at low temperatures and high humidity. Rare earth and cerium driers are used in baking varnishes. They have the high-temperature drying properties of iron driers, can increase the crosslinking degree of the paint film, improve hardness and toughness, and improve gloss and light retention, but they can easily make the paint film yellow, so they are not suitable for light colors.
Cerium 2-ethylhexanoate can also be used as a PVC heat stabilizer, which is resistant to high temperatures and has good stability.
