Litho Dri CO 6 is a 6% Cobalt Metal drier that can be used to stimulate oxidation and polymerization of lithographic inks, thus causing them to cure, or "dry". 

​

For black inks, we recommend using 1.5-2.0% of Litho Dri CO 6 by weight. Color inks should have about 2%. We recommend the addition of 1 to 1.5 % of Litho Dri MN 6 in most litho formulas to obtain "bottom drying", too.

​

Care should be exercised in the storage and handling of Litho Dri. Keep containers tightly sealed to avoid "crusting".  Rags soaked to drying oils (ie: linseed, tung) that have been exposed to Litho Dri can spontaneously ignite if left in a heap for an extended period of time.
