Zinc oxide

Zinc oxide is a white, odorless, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and thermally stable, with a melting point of approximately 1975 °C. It is an inorganic compound classified as a metal oxide and exhibits amphoteric character. Zinc oxide is widely used as a functional additive and precursor in industrial manufacturing, particularly in the production of rubber compounds (as a vulcanization activator), ceramic glazes, and UV-absorbing agents in sunscreens and coatings. It serves as a key raw material in the synthesis of zinc salts and as a pigment in paints, inks, and plastics. Its applications span coatings, personal care products, electronics (e.g., varistors and transparent conductive oxides), and animal nutrition formulations.

Accelerator activator, pigment and reinforcing agent in rubber, ointments, pigment and mould-growth inhibitor in paints, uv absorber in plastics, ceramics, floor tile, glass, zinc salts, feed additive, dietary supplement, seed treatment cosmetics, photoconductor in office copying machines and in colour photography, piezoelectric devices, artists' colorant.
White hexagonal crystal or powder. Tasteless, fine quality. Dissolved in acid, sodium hydroxide, ammonium chloride, do not dissolve in water, ethanol and ammonia.
