Characteristics

Appearance

The powder is not soluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, ethyl acetate and isopropanol. (Solubility in ethyl acetate and ethanol is >150 g/100 ml solvent and in isopropanol is >65 g/100 ml solvent).

Chemical analysis

C12H20O8Zr

Product Benefits

Safer alternative to titanium acetylacetonate to promote adhesion.
Improves adhesion for printing onto difficult substrates, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, metals, and other packaging materials.
Improves heat and scrub resistance of polyamide based inks.
Functions particularly well with cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) and nitro cellulose resins, where adhesion is required to co-extrude polyolefin films.

Typical Applications

Adhesion promoter for solvent-based inks.
Source of zirconium, soluble in organic solvents, for applications involving crosslinking with oxygenated organic polymers.
Precursor to zirconium oxide, through a solventbased process.
Crosslinker for polyvinyl alcohol (suitable for nonaqueous, organic solvents).
