Description

Zinc 2-ethylhexanoate is widely used in polyvinylchloride heat stabilizer, polyurethane catalyst and lubricant additive. It is an auxiliary drier used as pigments dispersing agent and prevents the paint film from webbing and frosting effects. It is involved in the preparation of highly porous dentritic zinc oxide nanostructures.
