Product Information

• Name: Ethylhexanoic acid zinc
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethylhexanoic acid zinc salt is a viscosity-increasing agent that is used in the production of high-viscosity polymers. It is a carboxylate salt of ethyl hexanoic acid and zinc. The reaction of ethylhexane with zirconium oxide produces a viscous liquid with a strong cationic polymerization activity. This product reacts with diphenyl ether and aromatic hydrocarbons to form solid products. The reaction with calcium stearate, an ester of glycerol, results in the formation of particles that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Ethylhexane also reacts with ethylene diamine to form methyl myristate, which has kinetic data available for it.
