Zinc Octoate 12% Zn CAS 136‑53‑8 is high‑strength liquid zinc 2‑ethylhexanoate auxiliary drier containing 12% zinc metal content. As high‑zinc grade alkyd co‑drier, it provides prominent anti‑skinning effect to restrain premature oxidation and skin crust inside paint cans. Working together with cobalt and manganese primary driers, it promotes uniform oxidative cross‑linking, enhances paint film hardness, gloss and leveling, and reduces curing wrinkling defects. High metal content lowers required
Zinc Octoate 12% Zn CAS 136‑53‑8 belongs to octoate‑series metal carboxylate auxiliary drier for air‑drying alkyd systems. It cannot achieve drying effect independently and must be compounded with cobalt‑manganese primary drier combinations. Thanks to its high zinc concentration, it realizes excellent anti‑skinning performance with reduced adding amount. It suppresses surface skin formation during sealed storage without negatively affecting surface drying after coating application. It optimizes cross‑linking homogeneity of cured film and minimizes wrinkling risk. It dissolves well in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents, maintains good compatibility with long‑oil and medium‑oil alkyd resins, and keeps stable catalytic activity in industrial batch production and finished paint storage.
