| Lead Octoate | 
 | Lead is effective polymerization drier, causing the film to dry in its entire thickness. Lead drier is seldom used alone but is used in combination with an active drier or top drier to decrease the total drying time. Lead also improves flexibility, toughness, durability and water resistance of the film.

| Cobalt Octoate |
| Cobalt is the most active top drier because it drastically activates the drying of oil film by oxidation and is generally used in conjunction with auxiliary driers. Cobalt is used almost exclusively in printing ink driers because the rapid stacking of printed matter demands extremely fast drying.

| Manganese Octoate |
| Manganese is not as active as cobalt but still falls in top driers class. Oxidation is rapid but polymerization is also appears to be promoted so that there is a substantially lessened likelihood of bad skinning and wrinkling. Often a three component drier system is used consisting of manganese, cobalt and a thorough drier such as lead.

| Calcium Octoate |
| Calcium is an auxiliary drier and is used in combination with Zirconium in lead free systems. Calcium is good wetting and dispersing agent and helps in dispersing pigments when used with Zinc. Calcium prevents haze formation in certain alkyd resins of high acid value.

| Zirconium Octoate |
| Zirconium is a very efficient auxiliary drier and is generally used in combination with cobalt and calcium. It is widely accepted substitute for lead free non-toxic paints. It is effective in both air dry and bake coating systems. It improves gloss hardness and thorough drying.

| Zinc Octoate |
| Zinc is an auxiliary drier. Zinc, alone is insufficient but functions synergistically in the presence of a drier such as cobalt. Zinc keeps the film open, so that it remains more easily accessible to oxygen and hardening is realized throughout the paint film. Zinc possesses profound dispersing and wetting properties.
