Abstract
Aqueous solutions of R zirconium carbonate in which R is selected from ammonium and potassium have a carbonate: zirconia molar ratio not greater than about 2 are used to impart thixotropic properties to aqueous dispersions of polymers and copolymers containing a water-soluble organic colloid containing a hydroxy group, such as emulsion paint. The solutions may be prepared by reacting zirconium basic carbonate with ammonium or potassium carbonate solution and have a good storage stability, especially at high concentrations.
