Neodecanoic acid is the collective name for a series of isomers of decanoic acid with branches on the α carbon atom. It is suitable for rubber and brass plating, The bonding of galvanized steel wires, cables and metal sheets with yellow steel bottom layers of different thicknesses and various bare steels.
Neodecanoic acid metal salt can be used as paint drier:
Neodecanoic acid metal salt can accelerate the oxidation, polymerization and drying of the paint film. Driers can reduce the activation energy generated by free radicals, thereby accelerating the post-crosslinking reaction of resin molecules and shortening the drying time of the paint film.
Neodecanoic acid metal salts (such as Co, Ma, Pb, Zn, Ca salts) have good solubility in organic solvents, low viscosity, high activity, and can be made into high-content Metallic soaps can be as high as 36%. It can be used as a drier for paint and ink. The viscosity of neodecanoic acid metal salt with corresponding metal content is much lower than that of 2-ethylhexanoate drier. Compared with naphthenic acid soap, neodecanoic acid metal soap has a lighter color, which shortens the drying time and increases the hardness of the coating film.
