Zirconium(IV) isopropoxide isopropanol is a suitable precursor for the synthesis of olefin-functionalized zirconium containing monomers. It is used in the manufacture of hybrid zirconium containing polymers. It is also used as a source of zirconia, a well known material having high mechanical strength, chemical durability and alkali resistance. It is also used for the chemical protection of metal substrates from acids.
