Widely used in the paint and coatings industry, it is an auxiliary drier that helps balance the oxidative drying process, ensuring smooth and crack-free film formation. It is typically used in combination with primary driers such as cobalt.

It is safe for use in light-colored systems, as it does not cause discoloration. Thanks to the natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties of the zinc component, it is especially suitable for wood protection, exterior applications, and areas where hygiene is critical. It helps prevent mold and bacterial growth, thereby extending the lifespan of surfaces.

It has a low odor, is compatible with other driers, and is cost-effective. However, due to the potential toxicity upon excessive exposure, it should be handled with appropriate safety measures. In addition, the zinc content provides corrosion-inhibiting effects on metal surfaces.
