Zinc oxide

Widely used in rubber manufacturing, especially in tires, where it enhances curing and improves heat dissipation. It acts as a vulcanization activator, increasing the efficiency of the sulfur cross-linking process, which strengthens the rubber and extends product life. Commonly found in sunscreens and skincare products due to its broad-spectrum UV protection. It reflects and scatters both UVA and UVB rays, making it a safe and effective physical sunscreen agent, especially for sensitive skin. Used in ointments and creams for treating skin conditions such as diaper rash, eczema, and minor burns. It has mild antiseptic and astringent properties that help protect and soothe irritated skin. An important component in the production of ceramics and glass, where it improves elasticity, thermal stability, and resistance to cracking during temperature changes. Employed in the electronics industry, particularly in varistors (voltage-dependent resistors), which protect circuits from voltage surges. It is also used in transparent conductive coatings and thin-film transistors. Added to paints and coatings to prevent mold growth and provide UV resistance, helping to preserve the integrity and appearance of surfaces exposed to sunlight and moisture. Used in animal feed as a dietary supplement to support growth and immune function, particularly in poultry and swine. It also helps control diarrhea in young pigs when administered at therapeutic levels. Found in some adhesives and sealants to improve curing and durability, especially in high-temperature or high-humidity environments.
