Global Market Likely to be Driven by Applications in Industry

Cobalt acetate [Co(C2H3O2)2] (also known as Cobalt diacetate tetrahydrate, Cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate, cobaltous acetate tetrahydrate) is a moderately water-soluble crystalline cobalt source that breaks down into cobalt oxide when heated. It is considered to be a precursor to several types of oil drying agents. As an ACS grade quality reagent, its chemical specifications are the de facto standards for chemicals used in several high-purity applications and typically designate the highest quality chemical available for laboratory use.  Uses include those as a bleaching agent, drier for coatings, catalyst, and foam stabilizer; also employed in sympathetic inks, feed additives, and in anodizing. These uses are expected to boost the global cobalt acetate crystals market. Cobalt acetate is usually immediately available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts that contain a metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion comprising two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two oxygen atoms (symbol: CH3COO) for a total formula weight of 59.05. Acetates are good precursors for the production of ultra-high purity compounds, catalysts, and nanoscale materials. Cobalt acetate crystals are available in several purity grades, including 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, and 99.999%.

Cobalt acetate is employed in surface treatment, for formulations, and as a catalyst or colourant for the textile, wood and paper industries; it is used to prepare complexes for examination of the properties of metals with unusual coordination geometries. It is also used as a catalyst for oxidation and esterification.

Uses in Textile and Wood Pulp Industries Expected to Boost Market Growth

Increasing global population and welfare drive the demand for textiles. The demand for wood-based textile pulps is expected to grow significantly in the near future. Further, pulp and paper would continue to play a major role in the world. Despite technological advancements, use of and demand for wood pulp and paper are expected to grow. These factors are expected to drive the global cobalt acetate crystals market.
