TYTAN™ APZ900

Chemical Family
Zirconium Compounds

TYTAN™ APZ900 is a zirconium complex with α-hydroxy acid ester that can be used as an adhesion promoter for printing, crosslinker for paints and as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its chelated structure, TYTAN™ APZ900 shows a delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates the storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB, and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches.
