description Product Description
- Used as a catalyst in oxidation reactions, particularly in the production of terephthalic acid from p-xylene for polyester manufacturing.
- Acts as a drying agent in paints, varnishes, inks, and coatings by accelerating oxygen absorption and promoting rapid curing.
- Employed in the synthesis of other cobalt-containing compounds for industrial uses, including batteries, magnetic materials, and synthetic rubber polymerization.
- Serves as a colorant or cobalt source in ceramics, glass, and pigments, imparting deep blue hues.
- Utilized in electroplating baths to improve coating hardness and wear resistance.
- Used in the textile industry as a mordant to enhance dye fastness to washing and sunlight.
- Functions as a moisture absorber in desiccants.
- Serves as a cobalt source in the manufacture of vitamin B12 supplements and in agricultural fertilizers/trace element supplements for animals and plants, especially in cobalt-deficient soils.
