Tytan AQZ30 is a Zirconium triethanolamine complex that readily hydrolyses in water to produce a hydroxyl zirconium chelate. This will readily crosslink with –OH and –COOH groups in solvent and aqueous systems to form strong gels and has the potential to act as an adhesion promoter. AQZ30 is an effective rheology modifier for functionalised guar derivatives for secondary and tertiary recovery of oil and gas wells. It has the ability to crosslink in both water-borne and solvent-borne coatings and provides adhesion in water-borne and solvent-borne printing inks. Compared with titanium based alkanolamines, AQZ30 offers prevention against yellowing of the polymer in use.

Replacement for PU catalysts, especially for tin-based catalysts like DBTL. One- and two- component polyurethane systems, e.g. for automotive refinish coatings, general industrial coatings, coil coatings formulated with blocked isocyanates. Condensation reaction in RTV silicone resins and accelerate the cross-linking process. Catalyst for PU foams.

Tytan AP20 is primarily designed to strongly increase adhesion of solvent based inks to a variety of plastics used for food packaging or other purposes, but also pigment distribution and heat sealing resistance are improved allowing perfect hiding power and appearance of printing on otherwise problematic substrates. Tytan AP20 however is more user-friendly as the addition of the ethanol strongly reduces the pour point and as such the possibility for crystallization at low to normal temperatures. Tytan AP20 can only be used in solvent based inks and coatings.
