Applications
One material, four very different jobs
Zinc oxide behaves differently depending on the system it enters. The grade that gives a sunscreen transparency is not the grade that gives a rubber compound its cure rate. We supply both, specified for the job.
Cosmetic
Sunscreen & Skincare
Zinc oxide as a physical UV filter in emulsions, sprays, and sticks. Broad-spectrum UVA and UVB attenuation with options for transparency and sensory profile.
- SPF and UVA-PF contribution
- Coated grades for photoactivity control
- Suitable for sensitive-skin formulations
Rubber & Tyres
Zinc oxide as a vulcanisation activator and reinforcing filler. Reactivity and dispersion determine cure behaviour and final mechanical properties.
- Vulcanisation activation
- Reinforcing function
- Consistent reactivity batch to batch
Coatings & Paints
UV resistance, anti-microbial function, and self-cleaning behaviour in exterior and functional coating systems.
- UV stabilisation
- Anti-microbial effect
- Weatherability improvement
Plastics & Textiles
Functional additive for anti-bacterial fibres and UV-stable masterbatch where durability under processing heat matters.
- Anti-bacterial function
- UV stability in masterbatch
- Thermal stability in processing
