It is uncoated and is an inert ingredient, often used to thicken lotions and creams. It works as a mild astringent and topical protectant in skin preparations.
Neelkanth's zinc oxide powder is available as per i.p. / b.p. / u.s.p specificatoins. neelkanth minechem manufactures zinc oxide of i.p. / b.p. / u.s.p grades which is of the highest quality and purity. It is specially produced to comply with the requirements of the united states pharmacopeia (usp), british pharmacopeia (b.p.) and the indian pharmacoeia (i.p.) as the specific case is. Made from high purity zinc metal under carefully controlled conditions, its relatively high specific surface and high reactivity provide the unusual combination of high purity, high chemical reactivity and low opacity.
Neelkanth's zinc oxide is utilized in cosmetics such as face powder, baby powders, nursery powders, sunburn preventatives and rouge sticks, furnishing opacity to ultraviolet light and mild deodorant properties.
In pharmaceuticals, zinc oxide is widely used in dermatological applications in the form of ointments and lotions as it is protective, astringent, and nontoxic. Zno zinc oxide may be used in the following preparations as described in the usp/bp/ip : calamine topical suspension, phenolated calamine topical suspension, coal tar ointment, zinc oxide ointment, zinc oxide paste, and zinc oxide and salicylic acid paste.
Neelkanth's zinc oxide is especially produced to meet the high purity requirements of food can manufactures for use in can sealing compounds and in organic coatings (lacquers) applied to the interior of cans. In coatings on the interior of cans for packing meats, fish and other protein-containing foods, the high reactivity of zinc oxide converts soluble sulfides into white zinc sulfide. This prevents the formation of black tin and iron sulfides that discolor foods and interiors of containers
