Zinc Oxide Pellets

Zinc Oxide Pellets

Applications:

Rubber Industry:

Vulcanization: ZnO is widely used as an activator in the vulcanization process of rubber. It helps improve the strength and durability of rubber products, including tires, seals, and hoses.

Ceramics:

Glass and Ceramic Glazes: Zinc oxide is used in ceramics to improve the mechanical properties and to produce specific colors in ceramic glazes. It also contributes to the thermal and chemical stability of ceramic materials.

Electronics:

Semiconductors: ZnO is utilized in the electronics industry as a semiconductor material. It is used in the production of varistors, which protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes.

Thin-Film Transistors: ZnO is used in thin-film transistors for displays and other electronic devices due to its high mobility and good electrical properties.

Photocatalysis:

Environmental Purification: ZnO pellets are used as photocatalysts in environmental purification processes. They can break down organic pollutants and disinfect water when exposed to UV light.

Optoelectronics:

Light Emitting Devices: ZnO is used in optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes due to its wide bandgap and ability to emit light in various wavelengths.

Sunscreen and Cosmetics:

UV Protection: ZnO is a common ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetic products due to its ability to block UV radiation. It is used for its non-toxic and effective sun-blocking properties.

Pharmaceuticals:

Medicinal Uses: Zinc oxide is used in various medicinal ointments and creams to treat skin conditions such as diaper rash, acne, and minor burns due to its soothing and antiseptic properties.

Catalysis:

Chemical Reactions: ZnO is used as a catalyst or catalyst support in chemical reactions. It is involved in processes such as methanol synthesis and hydrogenation reactions.

Paints and Coatings:

Pigments: Zinc oxide is used as a white pigment in paints and coatings. It provides opacity and durability to coatings and is used in a variety of applications including interior and exterior paints.

Environmental and Water Treatment:

Water Treatment: ZnO can be used in water treatment processes to remove contaminants and improve water quality through its photocatalytic properties.

Agriculture:

Soil Amendments: ZnO is used in agriculture as a zinc supplement to address zinc deficiencies in soil, which can improve crop yields and plant health.
