Zinc Octoate (22%) or Zinc 2-ethylhexanoate is a zinc-based metal carboxylate used primarily as a catalyst and drier in coatings and paints. Its primary role is to facilitate the oxidation of drying oils, enhancing the curing process in coatings. Zine octate is also used in the production of polyurethane and as a hydrogen sulfide/sulphide scavenger in certain applications. As zinc salt of 2-ethylhexanoic acid, which is often referred to as "octoic acid". Chemically a different chemical compound from zinc stearate, with a shorter fatty acid chain. Zinc Octoate is typically supplied as a liquid and is used as a paint drier, catalyst, and stabiliser and effective in enhancing the curing process in both alkyd paints and oil-based coatings. Also referred to as Zinc bis(2-ethylhexanoate) & Zinc 2-ethylhexoate by Zinc Octoate manufacturers. We are the leading, trusted zinc octoate supplier worldwide and in the United States, with reliable lead times and global supply capability.

Zinc Octoate is used in paint formulations as a drier to regulate drying times and improve the oxidative curing of coatings.
Used as a catalyst in the production of polyurethane foams, improving reaction rates and product consistency.
In hydrocarbon materials, Zinc Octoate removes hydrogen sulfide, particularly in applications involving asphalt.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from moisture and incompatible materials.
Available in bulk containers, drums, and small pack sizes suitable for industrial and commercial use.
