Zirconium Octoate - VALIREX Zr 12 Aqua

Zirconium Drier with 12% Metal Content for Water-based Alkyd Systems

VALIREX Zr 12 Aqua is a zirconium-based metal carboxylate with 12% Zr. The product is used in paint & coating applications as a secondary drier/siccative, and is formulated for compatibility with waterborne alkyd systems. Zirconium carboxylate paint driers improve the through-dry of auto-oxidative drying systems and are especially active on alkyd resins containing high levels of hydroxyl groups. The product is often used in combination with cobalt and calcium carboxylates.
