Calcium octoate is a metal carboxylate derived from calcium and 2-ethylhexanoic acid (octoic acid). It is widely used as a drier (siccative) in alkyd-based paints, coatings, inks, and varnishes. As an auxiliary drier, it promotes film hardness and improves the overall drying performance when used in combination with primary driers like cobalt and zirconium.
