Lead Octoate

Lead octoate is a through drier and promotes an even through drying
It functions throughout the entire thickness of the film and increases the flexibility, toughness and durability of the film
In conjunction with Butyl titanate, lead octoate is used as an accelerator for the hardening of silicon resins.
Lead octoate improves the water and salt resistance of the film
It improves the drying time of double boiled linseed oil, and yields clear and very pale boiled oil.
