Product Description:
Zirconium octoate 12% is a chemical compound, specifically a metal carboxylate, that is used as a secondary drier in paints and coatings. It’s a lead-free alternative that helps to improve the drying process of paints and varnishes, particularly in alkyd-based systems.It is frequently used in combination with other driers, such as cobalt and calcium, to achieve optimal drying performance.
Properties:
- Drying Agent: Zirconium octoate 12% functions as a secondary drier, meaning it accelerates the drying process of paints and coatings, particularly the through-dry (drying of the paint film from the inside out).
- Lead Replacement: It is a non-toxic substitute for lead-based driers, making it a safer option for various applications, including those for children’s articles.
- Compatibility: It is generally compatible with other driers like cobalt and calcium carboxylates, and is often used in combination with them.
- Enhanced Properties: It can improve aspects like gloss, color retention, and elasticity in the final coated film.
Applications:
It is used in a wide range of coatings, including architectural paints, industrial coatings, and automotive coatings.
