Zirconium octoate is a metal complex used as a drier or catalyst in the preparation of alkyd paint. It boosts the drying and curing of paint films through increasing the rates of oxidation and polymerization of drying oils.
Drier for Alkyd Paint
Paint, Ink & Coatings
Used as an additive to alkyd paints, varnishes, and coatings to enhance their drying and curing characteristics.
Catalyzes the cross-linking reaction of resin with air oxygen molecules.
Accelerates the drying rate of paint films, thus decreasing the drying time and enhancing the efficiency of the process.
It helps to achieve better tack-free and handling times in painting applications.
Improves the rigidity, toughness and chemical resistance of the cured paint films.
It offers better adhesion and weathering properties for exterior and industrial coating applications.
It helps reduce the rate of yellowing and discoloration of paint films during the process of drying as well as aging.
Helps to retain the original color and look of painted surfaces for a long time.
Can be used with many alkyd resins, drying oils and paint additives.
Provides uniformity and compatibility in paints and their constituents.
Zirconium octoate is normally supplied in closed containers like bottles or drums to avoid contamination and maintain quality when stored or transported.
