Cobalt 21 is used as a polyester initiator, “feeder drier,” accelerator and catalyst. It is also used in pre-promoted and Unsaturated Polyester Resins.

Shepherd Chemical is leader in the field of cobalt chemistry and an active member of the Cobalt Institute and the Cobalt REACH Consortium, the voice of the cobalt industry on sustainability, responsible use and health, safety and environmental issues.

Historically, cobalt has been used to manufacture brilliant blue and green pigments and acts as a Rubber Adhesion Promoter in radial tires. Today cobalt is also appearing in super strong magnets, high-tech turbines and even in cancer treatments.
