Zirconium(IV) Oxychloride Octahydrate

Zirconium(IV) Oxychloride Octahydrate Description

Zirconium(IV) oxychloride octahydrate (zirconyl chloride octahydrate) is a water-soluble zirconium compound used as a reagent in the formation of zirconia thin films, a intermediate for other zirconium-based salts and catalysts, a cross-linking agent, and an additive to titanium dioxide pigments to increase durabiliy. Other applications include the manufacture of textiles, ceramics and enamels, and fireproof materials. It is a building block for a new series of mixed zirconium phosphonates, which may have uses in catalysis, ion exchange or photophysics.

Zirconium oxychloride octahydrate is available as both a powder or crystalline solid or in aqueous solution.
