Product Application:
Cobalt Acetate Tetrahydrate is widely used as a catalyst in petroleum production:1: promoting the oxygenation reaction of crude oil, increasing the concentration and viscosity of crude oil;
2: prevent the formation of deposits, maintain pipeline unobstructed, and prolong the service life of equipment;
3: effectively resist oxidation during crude oil storage and transportation, reduce the risk of product deterioration;
Also used for surface treatment of aluminum profiles, desiccant for the production of coatings, printing and dyeing mordants, curing accelerators for FRP and invisible inks, etc.
Product Description:
Cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate is a chemical compound with the formula Co(CH3COO)2·4H2O. It is a pinkish-red crystalline solid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis reactions and as a precursor for the production of other cobalt compounds.
Storage & Transportation
Cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from sources of heat, flames, and ignition. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and contamination. The container should be labeled with the name of the chemical, its concentration, and any relevant hazard warnings.
