Zinc 2‑Ethylhexanoate 10% Zn CAS 136‑53‑8 is versatile liquid auxiliary drier containing 10% zinc metal content. As a general‑grade co‑drier for air‑drying alkyd systems, it effectively suppresses premature oxidation and can‑skin generation during paint storage. When combined with cobalt and manganese primary driers, it promotes uniform cross‑linking, enhances surface hardness and gloss, and reduces film wrinkling defects. It features broad resin compatibility, suitable for large‑scale productio
Zinc 2‑Ethylhexanoate 10% Zn CAS 136‑53‑8 is octoate‑series metal carboxylate auxiliary drier for oxidative alkyd coatings. It cannot produce drying effect independently and must be matched with cobalt‑manganese primary drier packages. Elevated zinc loading delivers stronger anti‑skinning capacity compared with lower‑zinc counterparts. It restricts premature oxidation on liquid paint surface inside sealed containers without impairing surface drying performance after application. It improves cross‑linking homogeneity, minimizes wrinkling risk. It dissolves readily in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbon solvents and exhibits good compatibility with long‑oil, medium‑oil and partial short‑oil alkyd resins, maintaining stable performance in storage and repeated industrial batch production.
