Uses/Applications

Polymerization
Zirconium Propionate is utilized as a catalyst or co-catalyst in polymerization reactions, especially in the production of polyesters and polyolefins. It helps initiate polymerization processes, control molecular weight, and regulate polymer structure, leading to the production of polymers with desired properties such as strength, flexibility, and thermal stability. Zirconium Propionate-based catalyst systems are employed in the manufacture of fibers, films, coatings, and plastic products.

Adhesion Promoter
Zirconium Propionate is used as an adhesion promoter in coatings and adhesives formulations. It enhances the adhesion of coatings and adhesives to various substrates such as metals, ceramics, and plastics by forming strong chemical bonds with the surface. These adhesion promoters improve coating durability, corrosion resistance, and bonding strength in automotive, aerospace, and architectural applications.

Corrosion Inhibition
Zirconium Propionate functions as a corrosion inhibitor in metal surface treatments and coatings. It forms a protective film on metal surfaces, preventing corrosion caused by exposure to moisture, chemicals, and environmental pollutants. Zirconium Propionate-based corrosion inhibitors are used in metalworking fluids, rust converters, and anti-corrosion coatings for infrastructure, marine, and industrial applications.

Textile Auxiliaries
Zirconium Propionate is employed as a textile auxiliary in dyeing and finishing processes. It acts as a binder, crosslinking agent, or flame retardant in textile treatments to improve fabric properties such as color fastness, crease resistance, and flame resistance. Zirconium Propionate-based textile auxiliaries are used in apparel, home textiles, and technical textiles industries.

Paper Sizing Agents
Zirconium Propionate is used as a sizing agent in paper manufacturing to enhance the strength, water resistance, and printability of paper products. It improves the bonding between paper fibers and filler particles, reducing paper porosity and improving surface smoothness. Zirconium Propionate-based paper sizing agents are employed in the production of packaging materials, labels, and specialty papers.

Water Treatment
Zirconium Propionate is utilized in water treatment applications as a coagulant or flocculant agent for the removal of suspended solids, organic contaminants, and heavy metals from water and wastewater streams. These are used in municipal water treatment plants, industrial wastewater treatment facilities, and swimming pool treatment systems.
