Zinc Octoate (22%) is a zinc-based metal carboxylate used primarily as a catalyst and drier in coatings and paints. Its primary role is to facilitate the oxidation of drying oils, enhancing the curing process in coatings. It is also used in the production of polyurethane and as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger in certain applications.

Chemical Properties & Specifications
Zinc Octoate is used in paint formulations as a drier to regulate drying times and improve the oxidative curing of coatings. It is effective in enhancing the curing process in both alkyd paints and oil-based coatings.
Used as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams, improving reaction rates and product consistency.
In hydrocarbon materials, Zinc Octoate removes hydrogen sulfide, particularly in applications involving asphalt.
Zinc Octoate is used as a catalyst and drier in industrial paint and coating formulations and is also used in polyurethane production and as a hydrogen sulfide scavenger in certain applications.
Zinc Octoate accelerates the curing process in oil-based paints and alkyd coatings by acting as a drier, improving drying time and promoting the oxidative curing of the materials.
Zinc Octoate should be handled with care, using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and goggles, to avoid skin and eye irritation.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area and ensure containers are tightly sealed when not in use to maintain product quality.
