MANUFACTURERS AND EXPORTERS OF MANGANESE OCTOATE
Manganese driers are intermediate in activity & they have both oxidizing & polymerizing properties & hence can be used as surface & through drier. It is used alone in backing finishes & along with Cobalt & Lead in air drying applications. When used in combination with Lead, hard tough & durable films are produced. It is mainly used for exterior paints, floor finishes, backing enamels, foundry chemicals etc. the dosage of Cobalt Octoate can be minimized by using Manganese Octoate as it is capable of replacing Cobalt because of its high activity.
One disadvantage in use of manganese driers is their relative dark color, which has a tendency to discolor white or light finishes.
Manganese gives good results in low temperature drying & in high humidity conditions.
Applications :-
- Drier for Solvent & Water borne Coatings
- Drier for Printing Ink
- As bonding agent in Foundry chemicals
