Technical Data Sheet

Cobalt Boro Neodecanoate

Physical form: Bluish purple friable pastille

Description (Method) Specification

Cobalt ,% 22 ± 1.0
Toluene insoluble, % 2 % max
Boron positive
Ash : 2 hrs @ 800C , % 31.5  2.5
Loss on heating : 2 hours at 105C, % 1.5 % max
Softening Point, C 100 +- 10
Application: Use as a bonding promoter for rubber to steel in tire and
conveyor belt manufacturing.

Recommendation: Use 0.1 % - 0.15 % of cobalt metal content in the final

compound. If the cobalt metal concentration is too high it will
cause accelerated aging and deterioration of the compound.
Compound must be cured below or at a maximum of 150 ºC.
Test physical properties and vary amount of cobalt till physical
properties comply with standard. The cord pullout test (ASTM D
2229) can be used for adhesion testing. The addition point of
the cobalt is important for the compound viscosity. Addition
point will not influence the adhesion properties.

Storage: Keep the product in a cool dry place and keep product away
from the atmosphere.
