Major Applications of Zinc Oxide:
|
| Rubber Industry: |
Vulcanization agent, Process Activator, Acceleration, Heat Stabilizer, Biochemical Activity, Dielectric Strength, Latex Gelation, Special Rubber Strengthening agent. |
| Paints Industry: |
Zinc Oxide in organic coatings provides a broad spectrum of properties, optical, chemical, biochemical and physical. It is used as white Pigments, Metal protecting Coatings, Marine Paints, Spacecraft outer coating. French Process Zinc Oxide has been proved superior to American process in fungus resistance and less sulfide staining. |
| Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: |
Burn ointments, Zinc soaps, Sun burn cream, Dental application, Fungi static properties, Food powders. |
| Polymer & Plastic Industry: |
Additives, Weathering stabilizer in plastics, Improves impact strength, Prevents UV degradation. |
| Catalysts & Sulfur Removal: |
Methanol synthesis, as Oxidation, alkylation, hydrogenation and dehydrogenating agent.Zinc Oxide is effective removal of Sulfur and Sulfur compounds from a variety of fluids and gases. |
| Adhesives & Sealants: |
Binders, Improves high heat resistance and high bond strength and water resistance of adhesives. |
| Ceramics & Glass: |
Additive, Electronic glass, Low melting glass, thermistors for use as lightening arresters, Earthenware products, Optical glass, Porcelain. |
| Animal Feed: |
As micronutrient and Essential mineral for all Animal feed. |
| Agriculture: |
Crop nutrient in Corn, Beans and other major field crops. |
| Fire Retardants: |
Zinc Oxide and its derivatives are used for preparation of fire retardant compositions of a variety of substances. |
| Portland Cement: |
Retardation of cement setting and hardening, improvement in whiteness and strength. |
| Batteries, Fuel cells, Photocells: |
It is used in Zinc carbon dry cells, Zinc-Silver Oxide batteries, Nickel Oxide-Cadmium batteries and even in secondary batteries. |
| Electroplating: |
Electroplating Chemicals. |
| Photocopying: |
Photoconductivity and semiconductor properties. Commercial Zinc Oxide for photocopying is generally produced from metallic zinc, rather than ore, to obtain a product of higher purity. |
