About Lead Octoate 36%

Lead Octoate %36 is a pale yellow liquid and is used as an active top drier in paints and coatings. Lead Octoate %36 provides hard, through drying throughout the film and also provides flexibility. Lead Octoate %36 is the most important auxiliary drier in applications where drying is required at low temperatures.

Efficient Drying Catalyst

Lead Octoate 36% significantly enhances the drying process in paints and coatings by functioning as a catalyst for oxidation and polymerization of drying oils. This results in shorter curing times and improved film formation, making it an essential component in modern industrial applications.

Broad Compatibility for Versatile Formulations

This organometallic compound is designed for compatibility with all alkyds and many resin systems, allowing paint manufacturers to develop a wide range of formulations without compatibility concerns. Its solubility in both aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons further broadens its application spectrum.

Safe Storage and Handling Recommendations

For optimal product stability, Lead Octoate 36% should be stored in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry place. When handling this toxic and environmentally hazardous product, follow strict safety protocols, particularly to avoid ingestion, inhalation, and aquatic contamination.
