Q1: What is the difference between active zinc oxide and regular zinc oxide?
A: Active zinc oxide is produced through a wet chemical process, which gives it a higher surface area (BET) and allows more control over impurity levels and product characteristics than regular zinc oxide. This improves its performance in the rubber vulcanization reaction, making it well-suited for many rubber formulations as well as specialty applications. Regular zinc oxide is produced using a dry process with a less adjustable end product.
Q2: Which industries use active zinc oxide?
A: It is mainly used in rubber vulcanization, latex gloves, catalysts, water treatment, and specialty chemical formulations. Grades can be adjusted based on the customer's process requirements.
Q3: Does it meet international regulatory requirements?
A: The product is REACH registered and complies with RoHS and REACH SVHC requirements, making it suitable for customers with strict regulatory needs.
Q4: Can custom specifications be provided?
A: Yes. Our R&D team can adjust the chemical and physical specifications according to the customer's formulation and application. Please contact us with your specific requirements.
