Zirconium Propionate (ZPP)
ZPP, Zr Pro | 84057-80-7
Solvent based inks.
Zirconium Propionate is a white, free-flowing powder used as an Ink adhesion promoter for solvent based inks. A white, free-flowing powder, with a slight odor of propionic acid.
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).
In both air and an inert atmosphere, this product starts to decompose at around 160 ˚C, to give an intermediate species which itself decomposes at around 350 ˚C, to give at higher temperatures zirconium oxide.

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