Our team approach policy of working closely with our suppliers and customers, combined with our fully integrated sales office, laboratory, manufacturing and warehousing on a single modern site maximises effectiveness of our service.

Zirconium Acetate (ZAC) is a clear colourless mildly acidic solution with a strong odour of acetic acid. This molecule is electrically neutral, the negatively charged acetate groups balancing the positive charges on the zirconium. Zirconium Acetate is used as a Zirconium-wax emulsion, Refractory Binder and Catalysts

Ammonium Zirconium Carbonate (AZC) is a clear colourless alkaline solution with a strong odour of ammonia. Under alkaline conditions, anionic zirconium species exist in the form of polymeric chains linked by hydroxyl bridges. Ammonium Zirconium Carbonate is used as a cross-linker in paper and board coatings, a cross-linker in glass fibre wall coverings. Its also used in ink and catalyst applications.

Zirconium Sulphate Solution (ZSS) is a clear colourless highly acidic solution. Anionic zirconium species exist in the form of polymeric chains linked by hydroxyl bridges. ZSS is used in pigment coating and leather tanning

Potassium Zirconium Hexafluoride (PZH) is an off-white free flowing powder, highly alkaline in nature. Anionic zirconium species exist in the form of polymeric chains linked by hydroxyl bridges. Potassium Zirconium Hexafluoride is used in flame proofing and metal hardening applications

Zirconium Oxy Nitrate (ZON) is a strongly acidic, clear amber solution. As with other acidic zirconium species, in solution cationic polymeric chains exist. ZON is used in catalyst applications.
