Iron 2-EthylHexanoate

• Iron octoate is an active drier only at high temperatures, while at room temperature, it exhibits very poor drying activity
• Iron drier is used in backing-stove finishes since it promotes polymerization and rapid drying
• When used in air drying alkyd coatings, iron octoate improves through drying
• It increases gloss by preventing adsorption of driers on the surface of pigments
• Iron octoate is an excellent wetting agent for carbon black and iron oxide
