DESCRIPTION

Zinc Oxide is an odorless powder with a white to yellow appearance, obtained via vaporization and oxidation of metallic zinc. This variety of zinc oxide is non-nano, meaning no particles are smaller than 100 nanometers in this grade which is ideal for mineral-based sunscreen formulations. Non-nano Zinc oxide is a UVA and UVB absorber, frequently used in the formulation of sun protectants, ointments, and cosmetic products. This material is widespread throughout the personal-care industry in topical creams, anti-dandruff shampoos, calamine, and balms for minor irritations. In addition to personal-care and cosmetic formulations, industrial manufacturing utilizing zinc oxide include paints, rubber, ink, plastics, enamels, glass, electronics, and adhesives.
