TROYCHEM ZINC 8 is a zinc carboxylate pigment wetting agent that improves color strength and reduces pigment settling in coatings. Containing 8% zinc metal, TROYCHEM ZINC 8 is utilized in coatings to produce harder auto-oxidative drying and inhibit mildew formation in applied surfaces, important properties for building materials. As a wetting agent, TROYCHEM ZINC 8 can be used at levels up to 5.0% to ensure pigments are well dispersed in formulations. Its antioxidant properties also make it useful to retard thermal breakdown in polymers and resins. TROYCHEM ZINC 8 is an economic additive that delivers key performance benefits for coatings and construction materials applications.
