Zirconium based solutions span the pH range along with a different counter ion to tailor the product to specific applications<\/p>\n

On the alkaline side, ammonium and potassium zirconium carbonates are excellent in the paper and board industry for adding water resistance to the product.<\/p>\n

On the acidic side, both mineral and organic anions give rise to products perfectly suited as base raw materials for catalysis, applications within the textile industry along with additives for inks and pigments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
