Zinc Oxide (Red Seal) - Indonesia

Brief Overview

Zinc oxide is an inorganic substance with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water. It is a chemical or raw material that is utilized in the manufacturing of several goods, such as paints, pigments, adhesives, tires, ceramics, ointments, animal feed, antiseptics, soaps, and tires. Zinc is also used in its production. Zinc oxide may be found in the earth's crust as zincite, a mineral that occurs naturally. That being said, synthetic zinc oxide is mostly used in trade.

Manufacturing Process

Zinc oxide may be produced in different grades by using electrolytic zinc, which can be obtained from reliable suppliers. Zinc is melted, vaporized, and then drawn into an oxidation chamber in the French Process. Under carefully regulated conditions, particle size according to the created specific grades is formed during the oxidation process. The zinc oxide is collected, inspected, and tested to ensure it satisfies grade criteria after cooling.The uniformity, homogeneity, and purity of particle size are ensured by the use of statistical process control and quality assurance techniques. Our information system connects the quality assurance, sales, and manufacturing laboratories.

Rubber and Plastic Compounds

Used as an activator in rubber and latex composite curing and vulcanization procedures. used to provide composites strength, durability, and abrasion resistance. helps protect polymers and rubber from UV radiation that can harm them, especially polypropylenes that weather outside. gives various rubber and plastic polymers the ability to withstand heat.

Specialty Chemicals

Zinc dispersions are used as a component in rubber vulcanization. Zinc salts are used in the production of plastics. Zinc borate and zinc chlorides are found in flame-retardants. Zinc diacrylate is a crucial ingredient in the manufacture of golf balls. Zinc oxide is utilized in the lubricant business to produce compounds like zinc chromate and zinc dithiophosphates, which are anti-wear additives. Zinc oxide can be dissolved in phosphoric acid for use in the painting and metal priming industries, or in sulfuric acid for electroplating.

Paints and Coatings

Used in mixtures that contain both water and solvent. Both as a pigment and a brightener, it performs admirably. UV-absorbing agent that keeps color vibrant for longer. Excellent inhibitor of fungi, mold, and mildew.

Ceramics and Glass

Utilized in the production of glazes as an opacifier or whitener. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion improves resistance to thermal and mechanical stress, especially in glass. In the frit industry, zinc oxide is used to enhance color and clarity. Zinc oxide is an excellent raw material for the manufacturing of optical glass due to its high refractive index. The varistor and ferrite industries employ zinc oxide to make ceramic components that can withstand lightning strikes and voltage surges.

Pharmaceutical and Food

USP zinc oxide is used in lotions, sunscreens, and creams that reduce diaper rash. Cosmetic manufacturers utilize zinc oxide as a UV absorber. Zinc oxide is used by producers of nutritional supplements (essential for human health) and zinc gluconate, which is presently found in cold preventative lozenges.

Micro Nutrients

Essential component used in soil fertilizer manufacturing, which promotes healthy animal growth and is included in feed formulations. It has been shown that adding more zinc increases crop yields and may have an impact on the functioning of the enzyme systems that regulate plant growth.
