Zinc Oxide

Introduction

Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound and an amphoteric oxide. It can react with acids to form salts and water, and can also react with bases to form the corresponding zincates. It is a white solid, insoluble in water and ethanol, but soluble in acids, aqueous sodium hydroxide solutions, and ammonium chloride solutions. As a commonly used chemical additive, zinc oxide has wide applications in many fields.

Product Grades

Industrial Grade

Zinc oxide (ZnO≥95%, coarse particle size) is typically produced via the leaching process of zinc ores. It is widely used in the production of rubber, plastics, paints, coatings, ceramics, and electronic components.

Metallurgical Grade

Zinc oxide (ZnO≥98%, uniform fine particle size) represents an upgrade from the industrial grade, offering enhanced purity and a more consistent particle size distribution. It is suitable for high-end applications, including semiconductor devices, optical instruments, and capacitors.

Medical Grade

Zinc oxide (ZnO≥99.5%, micron-scale particle size) features high purity and fine particle size. It is frequently employed as an additive in pharmaceuticals and in the manufacture of medical dressings.

Food Grade

Zinc oxide (ZnO≥99.8%, nano-scale particle size) is the highest-purity grade among all types. It is used as an additive and nutritional supplement in food and health product applications.

Standard stock items are industrial grade. For special-grade orders, please contact us for full documentation.
