COBALT OCTOATE
| Primary Driers | % metal (+ 0.2) | Features and Benefits |
| Cobalt | 6% | By far the most important and widely used active drier. Strongly promoting surface drying. Intensive red-violet colour, but low effect on color on the dry paint film. Used in combination with other metal driers. Tendency to cause surface wrinkling and poor dry through |
