APEO‑Free Universal Zirconium Drier is APEO‑free modified zirconium octoate auxiliary drier with CAS 22464‑99‑9. It features unique dual‑system compatibility, performing stably in both solvent‑borne alkyd and water‑reducible alkyd formulations. Zirconium component accelerates deep‑layer through‑curing, improves film hardness, gloss and substrate adhesion, and reduces pigment‑caused drier adsorption loss. Without APEO surfactants, it meets eco‑friendly coating requirements. It cannot work indepen
APEO‑Free Universal Zirconium Drier belongs to APEO‑free multi‑functional zirconium carboxylate auxiliary drier (CAS 22464‑99‑9), designed for oxidative‑cure alkyd systems covering both solvent‑borne and water‑reducible grades. Traditional production lines need to purchase separate solvent‑type and water‑type zirconium driers for different paint formulas, raising inventory pressure and formula management complexity. This product adopts special ligand modification technology, delivering good solubility in organic solvent medium and stable dispersibility in aqueous paint matrix. No APEO‑class surfactants are introduced. Zirconium acts as auxiliary drier to boost deep‑film oxidative cross‑linking, optimize hardness development and interfacial adhesion. It must be matched with primary driers such as cobalt or manganese and cannot be used alone. It shows excellent compatibility with long‑oil, medium‑oil alkyd resins in both solvent‑based and water‑dilutable systems and maintains stable batch‑to‑batch quality.
