Copper naphthenate is used extensively in textile rot proofing and to prevent dry rot and mildew in timber. As a strong insecticide it provides a permanent protection against ambrosia, beetle, termites and all other noxious insects attacking timber.

• Textile:
Copper napthenate may be applied to textile fabric either by dipping or spraying and the most complete and durable protection is obtained when the fabric after drying retains about 1% copper determined as metal, the copper napthenate solution for this purpose should normally contain from 2-2.5% copper as metal.

It is an auxiliary drier used in combination with Cobalt or Calcium. it is widely accepted substitute for Lead driers in non toxic systems. Its functions mainly by its catalytic activity on drier metals such as Cobalt and Manganese, the impetus for increased use of Zirconium is environmental regulations restricting use of Lead. Gloss and colour retention drying time, flexibility, and surface characteristics are improved by Zirconium use levels are 0.03 to 0.2% of the metal . Zirconium in its concentrated form is an auxiliary drier for high viscosity paints and printing inks.

It is recommended for baking finishes particularly for whites and over print varnishes where colour retention is vital. It is particularly useful with alkyl and epoxy resins or in combination of these with amino resins.

Calcium is an auxiliary drier. it is used both in combination with lead and as a partial replacement to lead in vehicles that show poor tolerance for lead. Calcium improves drying efficiency at low, temperature and high humidity. use levels of Calcium varies from 0.02 to 0.2% of the metal based on vehicle solids, proofing and fungicidal agents.
