General Description

Zinc(II) isooctanoate, also known as zinc 2-methylheptanoate, is a chemical compound with the formula C16H30O4Zn. As a divalent zinc salt of isooctanoic acid, it is often used in the manufacturing of various materials such as rubber, lubricants, and coatings. The compound appears as a solid at room temperature and is often found as a clear to a pale yellow liquid in its commercial form. Combining zinc ions with the isooctanoate ions, it is recognized by its pungent smell. Its applications are due to its ability to act as a highly effective catalyst, stabilizer, and crosslinking agent. Little information is available about its safety measures, hence proper handling and usage methods should be employed to avoid unnecessary risks.
