Zinc oxide powder plays different roles in different fields


Zinc oxide powder generally refers to zinc white, commonly known as zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is an important oxide of zinc that is insoluble in water and soluble in acids and strong bases. Zinc oxide is a relatively common chemical industry additive, widely used in the production of engineering plastics, silicate biological products, synthetic rubber, lubricants, paints for coatings, ointments, adhesives, food, batteries, flame retardants and other products. Below, let's say that zinc oxide powder plays different roles in different fields.

Zinc oxide has a large energy band gap and exciton binding energy, high transparency, and excellent room temperature luminescence technical properties, which are used in different applications in semiconductor products such as liquid crystal control displays, thin film through transistors, and luminescence detection diodes. In addition, microparticles of zinc oxide has as research a nanocomposite material based also began to play an active role in related aspects.

Zinc oxide powder appearance and characteristics are as follows: white powder or hexagonal crystals, no odor, no sand, heated to yellow, cooled, then the weight becomes white, heated to 1800 ℃ sublimation. The covering power is half that of titanium dioxide and zinc sulfide. Coloring power is twice that of basic lead carbonate. Soluble in acid, concentrated hydroxide, ammonia and ammonium solution, insoluble in water and ethanol.

In the chemical industry, zinc oxide powder is widely used as catalyst and desulfurizer, such as catalyst for synthesizing methanol and desulfurizer for synthesizing ammonia, which has a broad application market.

In the coating industry, zinc oxide powder is not only coloring and covering power, but also agent and luminous agent in coatings. In addition, the excellent UV shielding ability of zinc oxide nano makes it outstanding in coatings and other applications.

In the pharmaceutical enterprise hygiene and food development industry, zinc oxide powder has the function of plucking poison, stopping bleeding, generating muscle and astringent, also used in the raw material of rubber paste, and it is helpful for the process of children's intellectual development. Nano zinc oxide powder for food safety and hygiene services industry demand is gradually expanding, but we product design requirements are also more stringent, especially the content of heavy metal elements.

In the glass industry, zinc oxide powder is used for special glass products. In the ceramic industry, zinc oxide powder used as an agent printing and dyeing industry, fine particles, high activity, can reduce the sintering temperature of glass and ceramics, nano zinc oxide powder preparation ceramic glaze smooth, with anti-enzyme, deodorization and other effects.
