WHAT DOES SICCATIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Oil drying agent

An oil drying agent, also known as siccative, is a coordination compound that accelerates the hardening of drying oils, often as they are used in oil-based paints. This so-called "drying" occurs through free-radical chemical crosslinking of the oils. The catalysts promote this free-radical autoxidation of the oils with air. Typical oil drying agents are derived from ions of cobalt, manganese, and iron, prepared as "salts" of lipophilic carboxylic acids such as naphthenic acids, in order to give them a soap-like chemical formula and make them oil-soluble.

Definition of siccative in the English dictionary

The definition of siccative in the dictionary is a substance added to a liquid to promote drying: used in paints and some medicines.
