Zirmel 1000 Stabilized Potassium Zirconium Carbonate (KZC/PZC) | 23570-56-1

Paper and paperboard, and waterbased inks.

Zirmel 1000 is a highly effective ammonia-free crosslinker. It crosslinks with all commonly used binders to improve the surface structures strength by reducing the amount of weakly bonded particles available on the paper surface. This certain characteristic is of value to coated papers and offset printing. As well Zirmel 1000 crosslinks instantly to the binder, offering a rapid cure time in the drying section of the paper process, it is compatible with practically all coating and press formulations.

This product should be shipped using protect from freeze equipment between November 1st and April 1st.
