Zirconium Octoate

Zirconium Octoate is the best replacement of Lead octoate when used in combination with Calcium or Cerium octoate in the lead-free paint systems. Zirconium Octoate shows goods gloss retention and colour retention compared to Lead, but does not perform as well under adverse drying conditions of low temperature and high humidity. Zirconium Octoate is the most useful drier for water resistant finishes due to its stabilizing effect on the ester linkages in the media.
