Zinc Oxide (99.7%) - China

Brief Overview

Zinc oxide, represented by the chemical formula ZnO, is an inorganic compound appearing as a white, water-insoluble powder. Its versatile applications span various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, antiseptics, soaps, ointments, animal feed, zinc-derived chemicals, matches, paints, pigments, ceramics, adhesives, plastics, and rubber tire additives. Despite its natural occurrence as zincite in the earth's crust, commercially utilized zinc oxide is predominantly synthetic.

Manufacturing Process

Different grades of zinc oxide are obtainable through the electrolytic zinc process from approved suppliers. In the French Process for zinc oxide production, zinc undergoes controlled melting, vaporization, and oxidation to achieve particle sizes specific to distinct grades. After the cooling process, the zinc oxide is collected, sampled, and analyzed to ensure adherence to grade specifications. The incorporation of statistical process control and quality assurance techniques ensures purity, consistency, and uniform particle size, establishing a link between the quality assurance laboratory, production, and sales departments through an information system.
