Zirconium 2-ethylhexanoate

Zirconium 2-ethylhexanoate (CAS 22464-99-9 ) is an organozirconium compound supplied as a metal carboxylate salt, primarily used as a catalyst and cross-linking agent across polymer and coating systems. Its zirconium content and organic solubility make it effective for initiating and controlling reactions in industrial formulation processes. In plastics and polymer manufacturing, it functions as a polymerization catalyst. It supports the production of specialty polymers where controlled initiation is critical. Coating and ink formulators use it as a cross-linking agent to improve adhesion, hardness, and cure speed in solvent-based systems. In lubricant and metalworking formulations, it contributes to grease thickening and additive packages where metal carboxylates improve thermal stability and film performance. It also serves in printing applications. It acts as a drier or cure promoter in oil-based and resin-bound ink systems. Zirconium 2-ethylhexanoate is typically supplied as a liquid solution, with zirconium metal content expressed as a percentage. Common concentrations range from 6% to 18% Zr by weight. Technical grade is the standard commercial form, with specifications varying by zirconium assay and solvent carrier for industrial use. Packaging is available in drums and IBCs suited to industrial procurement volumes. This material is handled according to standard industrial safety protocols for metal carboxylates and organic solvents. Contact us for supply of Zirconium 2-ethylhexanoate Request Quote
