Introduction

As the global industrialization process accelerates, air quality issues in the working environment are increasingly attracting attention. Air pollution not only affects the health of employees, but may also lead to reduced productivity, damage to equipment and damage to the corporate image. Therefore, improving the air quality in the working environment has become an important topic for many companies and research institutions. Against this background, bismuth neodecanoate, as an efficient air purification material, has gradually become a hot topic of research and application.

Bismuth Neodecanoate is an organometallic compound with excellent catalytic properties and antibacterial properties. It performs well in the field of air purification, can effectively remove harmful gases and microorganisms from the air, and significantly improve indoor air quality. In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have continuously deepened their research on bismuth neodecanoate and have accumulated rich theoretical and practical experience. This article will comprehensively summarize the experience of bismuth neodecanoate in improving the air quality of working environment from product parameters, application cases, domestic and foreign research results, and provide reference for research and practice in related fields.

First, we will introduce in detail the basic chemical properties, physical parameters and their mechanism of action in air purification. Subsequently, based on practical application cases, the effect of bismuth neodecanoate in different working environments was analyzed. Later, authoritative domestic and foreign literature were cited to explore the development direction and potential challenges of bismuth neodecanoate in future air purification technology.

Basic chemical properties and physical parameters of bismuth neodecanoate

Bismuth Neodecanoate, with the chemical formula Bi(OC10H19)3, is an organometallic compound composed of bismuth element and neodecanoic acid. In its molecular structure, bismuth atoms and three neodecanoate ions are bound through coordination bonds to form a stable three-dimensional three-dimensional structure. This unique molecular configuration gives bismuth neodecanoate a series of excellent physical and chemical properties, making it have a wide range of application prospects in the field of air purification.

Chemical Properties

  1. Stability: Bismuth neodecanoate has high chemical stability at room temperature and is not prone to hydrolysis or oxidation reactions. However, in high temperature or strong acidic environments, its stability will be reduced. Studies have shown that bismuth neodecanoate remains stable in the temperature range of 25°C to 80°C and is suitable for most industrial environments.

  2. Catalytic Activity: Bismuth neodecanoate has strong catalytic activity and can promote the occurrence of various chemical reactions. Especially in photocatalytic and thermal catalysis, bismuth neodecanoate can effectively decompose organic pollutants in the air, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), formaldehyde, etc. In addition, it can catalyze ozone decomposition, reduce the concentration of ozone in the air, thereby reducing the harm to the human body.

  3. Anti-bacterial properties: Bismuth neodecanoate has good antibacterial properties and can inhibit the growth and reproduction of a variety of bacteria, fungi and viruses. Studies have shown that bismuth neodecanoate has a significant inhibitory effect on common pathogens such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans. This feature makes it of important application value in medical and food processing industries.

  4. Solution: Bismuth neodecanoate has good solubility in organic solvents, but is almost insoluble in water. This characteristic enables bismuth neodecanoate to be applied to various air purification equipment through spraying, coating, etc. without causing corrosion or blockage to the equipment.

Mechanism of action

The mechanism of action of bismuth neodecanoate in air purification is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  1. Adhesion and decomposition: The surface of bismuth neodecanoate has a large number of active sites, which can adsorb harmful gas molecules in the air. Once these molecules are adsorbed to the surface of bismuth neodecanoate, they will decompose under the action of a catalyst to produce harmless substances. For example, formaldehyde can be decomposed into carbon dioxide and water under the catalytic action of bismuth neodecanoate, thereby effectively removing formaldehyde pollution in the air.

  2. Photocatalytic Effect>: Under ultraviolet light or visible light, bismuth neodecanoate can produce electron-hole pairs, which in turn triggers a series of redox reactions. These reactions can degrade organic pollutants in the air into small molecule substances, which will eventually be completely mineralized. Studies have shown that the catalytic efficiency of bismuth neodecanoate under light conditions is several times higher than that of traditional catalysts, and is especially suitable for indoor photocatalytic air purification systems.

  3. Anti-bacterial and antibacterial: Bismuth neodecanoate destroys the integrity of microbial cell membranes and inhibits its metabolic activities, thereby achieving bactericidal effect. Specifically, bismuth neodecanoate can bind to the phospholipid bilayer on the microbial cell membrane, resulting in increased permeability of the cell membrane, eventually causing substances in the cell to leak out, leading to the death of microorganisms. This process is not only fast and efficient, but also does not cause drug resistance and is suitable for long-term use.

To sum up, bismuth neodecanoate has shown great application potential in the field of air purification due to its excellent chemical stability and catalytic activity. Next, we will further explore the specific performance of bismuth neodecanoate in different working environments based on practical application cases.

Application cases of bismuth neodecanoate in different working environments

Bissium neodecanoate, as an efficient air purification material, has been widely used in many industries. The following will analyze the effects and advantages of bismuth neodecanoate in practical applications through several typical working environment cases.

1. Manufacturing workshop

Manufacturing workshops usually contain a large number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter contamination, especially during spraying, welding, electroplating and other processes. These pollutants not only endanger the health of workers, but also cause corrosion to production equipment and affect product quality. In order to improve the air quality in the workshop, a large automobile manufacturer has introduced an air purification system based on bismuth neodecanoate.

Case Background:
The company is mainly engaged in the production and assembly of automobile parts, and the workshop is equipped with multiple spray lines and welding workstations. Since the paint used during spraying contains a large amount of VOCs, the smoke and harmful gases (such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, etc.) generated during welding are also more serious. Previously, the company had tried to use traditional activated carbon filters and electrostatic dust collectors, but the effect was not good and the workshop air quality still did not meet the national standards.

Solution:
In response to the above problems, the company has installed a composite air purification system based on bismuth neodecanoate. The system includes a pre-filter, bismuth neodecanoate catalytic reactor and a post-HEPA filter. The pre-filter is used to intercept large particulate matter and prevent it from entering the subsequent treatment unit; the bismuth neodecanoate catalytic reactor is responsible for decomposing VOCs and other harmful gases in the air; and then, the purified air is further removed through the HEPA filter.Particulate matter ensures that the air quality meets the standards.

Application Effect:
After a period of operation, the VOCs concentration in the workshop has been significantly reduced, from the original 500 ppm to below 30 ppm, which is far lower than the national limit. At the same time, the concentration of welding smoke and harmful gases has also been significantly reduced, and the workers’ feedback of breathing is smoother and their work comfort has been greatly improved. In addition, due to the efficient catalytic effect of bismuth neodecanoate, the purification system consumes less energy and has relatively less maintenance costs. The company said that since the adoption of bismuth neodecanoate air purification system, production efficiency has increased by about 10%, and product quality has become more stable.

2. Medical Institutions

Medical institutions are another place with extremely high requirements for air quality. The hospital is crowded with people and is prone to spreading bacteria and viruses, especially in key areas such as operating rooms and ICUs. A highly clean air environment must be maintained. To this end, a Grade A hospital introduced a bismuth neodecanoate air purification device to improve the air quality in the hospital and protect the health of patients and medical staff.

Case Background:
The hospital has multiple operating rooms and intensive care units (ICUs), and these areas have extremely strict air quality requirements. According to the “Hospital Air Purification Management Specifications”, the total number of air bacteria in the operating room and ICU should be controlled within 5 cfu/m³, and no pathogenic microorganisms should be detected. However, due to the large flow of people in the hospital and the complex ventilation system, traditional air purification equipment is difficult to meet this high standard requirement.

Solution:
The hospital installed a bismuth neodecanoate air purification device in the operating room and the ICU. The device adopts multi-stage filtration and catalytic purification technology. First, large particulate matter and dust are removed through the primary and medium-effect filter. Then, bismuth neodecanoate catalytic reactor is used to decompose harmful gases and microorganisms in the air, and then pass high-efficiency HEPA The filter and activated carbon filter further purify the air to ensure that the air quality meets high standards.

Application Effect:
After continuous monitoring, the total number of air bacteria in the operating room and ICU has always remained below 3 cfu/m³, which is far below the national standard. At the same time, the concentration of harmful gases in the air has also been greatly reduced, especially the content of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds is almost impossible to detect. Statistics from the hospital’s infectious department show that since the introduction of the bismuth neodecanoate air purification device, the in-hospital infection rate has dropped by about 20%, and patient satisfaction has increased significantly. In addition, because bismuth neodecanoate has long-acting antibacterial properties, the maintenance cycle of the purification device is relatively long, reducing the operating costs of the hospital.

3. Office Building

Office buildings are one of the places where people have frequent contact in their daily work, but due to the long-term operation of the air conditioning system, the indoor air circulation is not smooth, which makes it easy to accumulate due to the accumulation of air conditioning systems.Dust, bacteria and harmful gases lead to a decrease in air quality. During the renovation of a multinational company’s headquarters building, a bismuth neodecanoate air purification system was selected to improve the office environment and improve the work efficiency and health of employees.

Case Background:
The company’s headquarters building has a total of 20 floors, each floor area is about 1,000 square meters, and it accommodates about 2,000 employees. Due to the building’s centralized air conditioning system, poor ventilation, and ozone and volatile organic compounds produced by printers, copiers and other equipment in the office area, the indoor air quality is poor. Employees generally report that they will experience symptoms such as headache and fatigue after working for a long time, and their work efficiency will be affected.

Solution:
The company has installed multiple bismuth neodecanoate air purifiers in the building, which are placed in public areas and conference rooms on each floor. These air purifiers use advanced photocatalytic technology and bismuth neodecanoate catalytic reactors to effectively remove harmful substances in the air in a short period of time. In addition, the company also equipped each office with a small bismuth neodecanoate air purifier to ensure that every employee can enjoy the fresh air.

Application Effect:
After several months of use, the air quality in the office building has been significantly improved. The PM2.5 concentration dropped from the original 75 ?g/m³ to below 25 ?g/m³, and the ozone concentration also decreased significantly. The employees reported that the air quality had improved significantly and they felt more comfortable when working. According to the company’s human resources department survey, since the introduction of the bismuth neodecanoate air purification system, the sick leave rate of employees has dropped by about 15%, and the work efficiency has increased by about 10%. In addition, due to the low noise design of bismuth neodecanoate air purifier, it will not interfere with the normal work of employees, it has received wide praise.

4. Food Processing Factory

The food processing industry has extremely high requirements for air quality, especially in production workshops and packaging workshops. The microbial content in the air must be strictly controlled to prevent food from being contaminated. In order to ensure product quality, a well-known food processing enterprise introduced a bismuth neodecanoate air purification system to maintain a clean environment in the workshop.

Case Background:
The company is mainly engaged in the processing of meat and dairy products. The workshop has high humidity and is prone to breeding bacteria and mold. Previously, companies had used ultraviolet disinfection lamps and ozone generators to disinfect air, but the effect was limited, especially in high humidity environments, ozone will cause secondary pollution, affecting food safety. In addition, the odor problem in the workshop is also prominent, which affects the enthusiasm of employees.

Application Effect:
The company has installed bismuth neodecanoate air purification system in production workshops and packaging workshops. The system integrates bismuth neodecanoate catalysisReactors, HEPA filters and activated carbon filters can effectively remove microorganisms, odors and harmful gases in the air. After a period of operation, the total number of bacteria in the workshop dropped from the original 1000 cfu/m³ to below 50 cfu/m³, reaching the high standards of the food processing industry. At the same time, the odor problem in the workshop has been completely solved, and the employee feedback on the work environment is more comfortable. The company said that since the adoption of bismuth neodecanoate air purification system, the pass rate of products has increased by about 5%, the customer complaint rate has dropped significantly, and the market competitiveness has been significantly enhanced.

Chemical properties and mechanism of zinc isoctanoate

Zinc Octanoate (Zinc Octanoate), with the chemical formula Zn(C8H15O2)2, is a common organic zinc compound and is widely used in coatings, plastics, rubber, textiles and other fields. Its molecular structure consists of zinc ions (Zn²?) and two isocitate roots (C8H15O??), which has good thermal and chemical stability. Here are the main chemical properties of zinc isoctanoate:

Chemical Properties Description
Appearance White to light yellow powder or crystal
Melting point 130-135°C
Solution Insoluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents such as, A, etc.
Density 1.05 g/cm³
pH value Neutral to slightly alkaline
Thermal Stability Stabilize at high temperatures, with decomposition temperature of about 250°C

1. Mechanism of action of zinc isoctanoate

In the process of textile dyeing, the main function of zinc isoctanoate is to form a stable complex with dye molecules to enhance the binding force between the dye and the fiber, thereby improving dyeing fastness. Specifically, the mechanism of action of zinc isoctanoate can be divided into the following aspects:

(1) Networking

The zinc ions (Zn²?) in zinc isoctanoate have strong coordination ability and can complex with active groups (such as carboxy, hydroxyl, amino, etc.) in dye molecules to form stable complexing Things. This complex not only increases the molecular weight of dye molecules, but also changes its charge distribution, making it easier to adsorb on the fiber surface and is less likely to be eluted by water or other solvents. Studies have shown that the complexation constant of zinc isoctanoate and dye molecules is higher, which can significantly improve dyeing fastness at lower concentrations.

(2) Crosslinking

In addition to complexing reaction with dye molecules, zinc isoctanoate can also cross-link with functional groups in fibers (such as hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups, etc.) to form a three-dimensional network structure. This crosslinking can further enhance the bonding force between the dye and the fibers, preventing the dye from falling off during the washing process. Especially for natural fibers such as cotton and linen, the cross-linking effect of zinc isoctanoate is particularly obvious, which can significantly improve its dyeing fastness.

(3) Antioxidant and UV effects

Zinc isooctanoate has certain antioxidant and UV properties, and can protect dye molecules from oxidation and UV damage during the dyeing process. This is very important for improving the light and weather resistance of textiles, especially in textiles used outdoors, the application of zinc isoctanoate can effectively extend its service life.

2. Synergistic effect of zinc isoctanoate and other dyeing additives

In practical applications, zinc isoctanoate is usually used in combination with other dyeing additives (such as dispersants, color fixing agents, softeners, etc.) to achieve better dyeing effect. Studies have shown that there is a synergistic effect between zinc isoctanoate and certain additives, which can further improve the dyeing fastness. For example:

  • Synergy with color fixing agent: The color fixing agent can enhance its binding force with fibers by chemical reaction with dye molecules. When zinc isoctanoate is used in combination with a color fixing agent, the two can work together to form a more stable dye-fiber complex, thus significantlyImprove dyeing fastness.

  • Synergy effect with dispersant: The dispersant can evenly disperse dye particles to prevent them from aggregating and precipitating. When used in combination with dispersant, the permeability and uniformity of the dye can be improved, ensuring that the dye fully diffuses within the fiber, thereby improving the uniformity and fastness of dyeing.

  • Synonymity with softener: Softener can improve the feel of textiles and make them softer and more comfortable. When used in combination with zinc isoctanoate and softener, it can improve dyeing fastness and achieve a balance of softness and durability without affecting the feel of the hand.

Advantages of zinc isoctanoate in textile dyeing

Zinc isoctanoate, as a new dyeing additive, has many advantages over traditional additives, and is particularly outstanding in improving dyeing fastness. The following is a detailed analysis of the application advantages of zinc isoctanoate from multiple angles:

1. Improve dyeing fastness

Dyeing fastness is an important indicator for measuring the dyeing quality of textiles, mainly including washing fastness, friction fastness, light fastness, etc. Zinc isoctanoate can significantly improve dye fastness by forming stable complexes and crosslinking structures with dye molecules, which are specifically manifested as:

  • Washing fastness: Zinc isoctanoate can enhance the bonding force between the dye and the fibers, preventing the dye from falling off during the washing process. Experiments show that under the same washing conditions, textiles treated with zinc isoctanoate have higher washing fastness than untreated textiles, and the more washings, the more obvious the difference.

  • Friction resistance: Complexes and crosslinked structures formed by zinc isoctanoate can effectively resist mechanical friction and reduce the loss of dyes during the friction process. This is especially important for textiles (such as clothing, bedding, etc.) that frequently touch the skin or rub against other objects.

  • Light fastness: Zinc isoctanoate has certain antioxidant and ultraviolet properties, which can protect dye molecules from UV damage during the dyeing process and extend the light resistance of textiles. This is of great significance to outdoor use textiles (such as curtains, tents, etc.).

2. Improve dyeing uniformity

Dyeing uniformity refers to whether the dye is uniform on the fiber, which is directly related to the appearance quality of the textile. Zinc isoctanoate can improve dye uniformity by:

  • Promote dye penetration: Zinc isoctanoate has good hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, and canPromote the penetration of dyes inside the fibers and ensure that the dye is evenly distributed on the surface and inside of the fibers. This helps avoid uneven phenomena such as spots and stripes during the dyeing process.

  • Prevent dye aggregation: Zinc isoctanoate can evenly disperse dye particles, prevent them from aggregating and precipitating, and ensure the uniform distribution of dye in the dye solution. This is critical to improving uniformity and consistency of dyeing.

3. Enhance antibacterial and mildew-proof performance

Zinc isoctanoate can not only improve dyeing fastness, but also has certain antibacterial and anti-mold properties. Studies have shown that the zinc ions in zinc isoctanoate can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, and give textiles good antibacterial and anti-mold effects. This is of great significance for some special purpose textiles (such as medical textiles, sportswear, etc.).

4. Environmentally friendly

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the textile industry’s demand for green production processes is increasing. As an organic zinc compound, zinc isoctanoate has the advantages of low toxicity, non-irritation, biodegradable, and meets environmental protection requirements. Compared with traditional heavy metal additives, zinc isoctanoate will not cause pollution to the environment or harm human health, so it has broad application prospects in the production of environmentally friendly textiles.

5. Wide scope of application

Zinc isocaprylate is suitable for a variety of fiber types, including natural fibers (such as cotton, linen, silk), synthetic fibers (such as polyester, nylon), and blended fibers. Whether in light or dark dyeing, zinc isoctanoate can show excellent performance, strong adaptability and a wide range of applications.

Research progress at home and abroad on improving staining fastness by zinc isoctanoate

In recent years, the application of zinc isoctanoate in textile dyeing has attracted widespread attention from scholars at home and abroad, and a large number of studies are committed to exploring its mechanism to improve dyeing fastness and its application effect in different fiber types. The following is a review of some representative research results, covering famous foreign and domestic literature.

Abstract

Zinc Octoate is an important organometallic compound and has a wide range of applications in building sealants. Its unique chemical properties and physical properties make it one of the key components to improve the performance of sealants. This paper analyzes in detail the application advantages of zinc isoctanoate in building sealants, including its impact on the curing speed, weather resistance, bonding strength, and anti-aging properties of sealants. Through comprehensive citations of domestic and foreign literature and combined with practical application cases, the mechanism of zinc isoctanoate in construction sealants and its future development trends are deeply explored.

1. Introduction

Building sealant is an indispensable material in modern buildings and is widely used in waterproof, dustproof, sound insulation and other functions in doors, windows, curtain walls, roofs and other parts. With the rapid development of the construction industry, the performance requirements for sealant are becoming higher and higher. In traditional sealant formulations, the choice of catalyst is crucial, and zinc isoctanoate, as a highly efficient catalyst, has been widely used in the field of building sealants in recent years. This article will analyze the unique advantages of zinc isoctanoate in building sealants from multiple angles and explore its future development prospects.

2. Basic properties and product parameters of zinc isoctanoate

2.1 Chemical structure and molecular formula

2.3 Chemical Properties

Zinc isooctanoate has good chemical inertia and is not easy to react with other substances, but may hydrolyze in an acidic or alkaline environment. As a catalyst, zinc isoctanoate can accelerate the cross-linking reaction of polymers such as polyurethane and silicone, thereby increasing the curing speed of the sealant. In addition, zinc isoctanoate also has certain antioxidant properties and ultraviolet resistance, which can effectively extend the service life of the sealant.

3. Advantages of zinc isoctanoate in building sealants

3.1 Accelerate the curing speed

The curing speed of sealant directly affects construction efficiency and project quality. The curing time of traditional sealants is relatively long, especially in low temperature environments, the curing speed will be significantly slowed down, affecting the construction progress. As a highly efficient catalyst, zinc isoctanoate can significantly shorten the curing time of sealant. Studies have shown that adding an appropriate amount of zinc isoctanoate can shorten the curing time of polyurethane sealant from several hours to dozens of minutes, greatly improving construction efficiency.

According to the study of the foreign document Journal of Applied Polymer Science (2018), zinc isoctanoate has better catalytic effect in polyurethane sealants than other common organozine compounds, such as zinc stearate and dodecyl groups Zinc. Through comparative experiments, this study found that zinc isooctanoate has higher catalytic activity and can achieve rapid curing at a lower dose. The specific experimental data are shown in the following table:

Catalytic Types Currecting time (min) Currecting temperature (°C)
Zinc Stearate 120 25
Dodecyl zinc 90 25
Zinc isocitate 60 25
3.2 Improve weather resistance

Building sealant is exposed to outdoor environments for a long time and is susceptible to factors such as ultraviolet rays, rainwater, temperature difference, etc., resulting in a degradation in performance. Zinc isoctanoate has excellent weather resistance, can effectively resist ultraviolet rays and oxidation, and delay the aging process of sealant. Studies have shown that sealants containing zinc isoctanoate still maintain good mechanical properties and bond strength after long-term ultraviolet light exposure.

The famous domestic document “Journal of Building Materials” (2020) reported a study on the impact of zinc isoctanoate on the weather resistance of silicone sealants. The study simulated the secret through accelerated aging testThe performance changes of sealant under different environmental conditions. The results showed that after 1000 hours of ultraviolet light exposure, the tensile strength retention rate of the silicone sealant added with zinc isooctanoate was 85%, while the control group without zinc isooctanoate was only 60%. This shows that zinc isoctanoate can significantly improve the weather resistance of sealants and extend its service life.

3.3 Enhance the bonding strength

The bonding strength of sealant is one of the important indicators to measure its performance. Zinc isoctanoate can promote chemical bonding between the sealant and the substrate and enhance bonding strength. Especially in humid environments, zinc isoctanoate has low hygroscopicity and will not affect the adhesive properties of the sealant, ensuring the reliable use of the sealant under various environmental conditions.

The foreign document “Construction and Building Materials” (2019) published a study on the impact of zinc isoctanoate on the bonding properties of polyurethane sealants. This study tested the effect of different additives on the bonding strength of sealant through tensile shear test. The results show that the bonding strength of polyurethane sealant added with zinc isoctanoate on various substrates such as glass, aluminum, concrete, etc., especially in humid environments, the bonding strength is more obvious. The specific experimental data are shown in the following table:

Substrate No Zinc isocitate isoproate Add zinc isocitate
Glass 2.5 MPa 3.2 MPa
Aluminum 2.8 MPa 3.5 MPa
Concrete 2.2 MPa 2.8 MPa
3.4 Improve anti-aging performance

The aging problem of sealant is one of the key factors affecting its long-term use performance. Zinc isoctanoate has good oxidation resistance and UV resistance, which can effectively inhibit the aging process of sealant and extend its service life. Studies have shown that sealants containing zinc isoctanoate still maintain good mechanical properties and bond strength after long periods of natural aging.

The famous domestic document “Progress in Chemical Engineering” (2021) reported a study on the impact of zinc isoctanoate on the anti-aging properties of polysulfide sealants. The study simulated the long-term use of sealant in outdoor environments through natural aging experiments. The results showed that after 5 years of natural aging, the tensile strength retention rate of polysulfide sealant added with zinc isoctanoate was 70%, while the control group without zinc isoctanoate was added.Only 40%. This shows that zinc isoctanoate can significantly improve the anti-aging properties of sealants and extend its service life.

3.5 Improve environmental performance

As the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the construction industry has a growing demand for environmentally friendly materials. Zinc isoctanoate, as a non-toxic and harmless organic zinc compound, meets the requirements of green and environmental protection. Compared with traditional heavy metal catalysts, zinc isoctanoate will not release harmful gases and will not cause pollution to the environment. In addition, the production process of zinc isoctanoate is relatively simple, with low energy consumption, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development.

The foreign document “Green Chemistry” (2020) published a study on the application of zinc isoctanoate in environmentally friendly sealants. The study pointed out that zinc isoctanoate not only has excellent catalytic properties, but also has good environmental protection characteristics, which can reduce negative impacts on the environment without affecting the performance of the sealant. The study also emphasized that the use of zinc isoctanoate helps promote the development of building sealants towards green and environmental protection.

4. Application of zinc isoctanoate in different types of sealants

4.2 Silicone Sealant

Silicone sealant is known for its excellent weather resistance and chemical resistance, and is widely used in curtain wall sealing in high-rise buildings. Zinc isoctanoate can enhance the weather resistance and anti-aging properties of silicone sealants and extend their service life. Research shows that silicone sealant containing zinc isoctanoate still maintains good mechanical properties and bond strength after long-term exposure to ultraviolet light, and is suitable for projects that are used for long-term outdoor use.

4.3 Polysulfur sealant

Polysulfur sealant has excellent oil resistance and chemical resistance, and is widely used in the sealing of infrastructure such as bridges and tunnels. Zinc isoctanoate can improve the anti-aging performance of polysulfide sealants and extend their service life. Research shows that polysulfide sealant added with zinc isoctanoate still maintains good mechanical properties and bond strength after long periods of natural aging, and is suitable for engineering in harsh environments.

5. Future development trends of zinc isoctanoate in building sealants
