ZINC OCTOATE

ZINC OCTOATE by Arihant Metallica is an auxiliary drier used in conjunction with redox metals. It is to keep the film “open” by retarding surface dry, thus permitting hardening through out & preventing surface wrinkling, particularly in cobalt containing films & enamels. It is a powerful wetting and dispersing agent & when incorporated early in formulation, it greatly reduces the time of mixing & grinding. Because of the extremely light color, it can be added without discoloring the film. ZINC OCTOATE is suitable for solvent and water-borne coatings.
