Cobalt stearate (Cat No.: M059316) is a coordination compound formed from cobalt(II) and stearic acid, appearing as a violet to reddish-purple waxy solid or powder. It is widely used as a drier or curing agent in paints, varnishes, and inks by promoting oxidative crosslinking of drying oils. Additionally, cobalt stearate functions as a catalyst in polymer and rubber production and as a heat stabilizer in plastics. Its lipophilic nature ensures compatibility with organic matrices, making it effective in non-aqueous systems and surface coatings.
