Paint and Printing Ink Driers

Cobalt Compounds are the most widely used driers for Paints and Printing Inks. It is often referred to as a "surface" or "top" drier. Cobalt, when used alone, may cause wrinkling of some coatings due to the fast surface cure. It is therefore regularly used in conjunction with other metals to provide a more uniform cure and a smooth finish.

Shepherd Widnes manufactures cobalt raw materials for making Paint and Printing Ink Driers. Cobalt Hydroxide is specially formulated and processed to consistently give high metal yields and a highly efficient filtration in the manufacturing of driers.

Shepherd Chemical produces a complete line of Paint and Ink Driers.
