How to Choose the Right Zinc Oxide Supplier for Safety and Quality
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is perhaps the most widely used chemical in industry today, with applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to ceramics, rubber, and semiconductors. Given its use in end-consumer goods and technology, ZnO quality standards must be directly aligned with industry-wide standards for safety, legislation, and performance. Choosing the appropriate ZnO supplier is thus a multi-step …

How to Tell if Zinc Oxide Is Nano or Non-Nano
Analytical Strategies for Particle-Size Verification Using SEM, DLS, BET, and XRD Zinc oxide (ZnO) has been known for decades as a versatile compound for use in sunscreens and cosmetics as well as industrial catalysts and ceramics. More recently, the advent of nanotechnology research has increased the use of ‘nano-ZnO’ due to the drastically higher surface …
Manufacturers of Zinc Oxide: How They Differ, and Why the Process Matters
Zinc oxide is a material that seems simple, but its performance depends on things that happen long before the bag or drum gets to your plant. The production method, thermal “French” (indirect), thermal “American” (direct), or wet-chemical (precipitation and related variants), determines the purity, particle size and shape, surface area, coatings, and consistency from batch …
