Last previous edition approved in 1999 as D 2373 – 85 (1999). 3 p. This test method covers a titrimetric determination of cobalt in liquid paint driers that can be dissolved in glacial acetic acid and utilizes the disodium salt of ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid dihydrate (EDTA).
This test method is not applicable to drier blends. If driers other than cobalt are present, they may interfere by reacting with EDTA under the conditions used for analysis.
