Zinc Oxide

Zinc Oxide is an inorganic chemical compound with formula ZnO. It is nearly insoluble in water but soluble in acids or alkalis. Zinc Oxide occurs as white hexagonal crystals or a white powder commonly known as zinc white. It is present in the earth’s crust as the mineral zincite. Zinc oxide is white at regular temperatures and yellow when heated. Zinc Oxide can be prepared in a broad range of particle sizes, from macro conglomerates of several tons of microns, to colloidal dimensions, up to ultra microscopic nano particles. It is most often marketed in the form of a very fine powder. We manufacture Zinc oxide by the indirect process (the French process) in which zinc metal or metallic residues are melted and vaporized at high temperature which instantaneously reacts with the oxygen in the air to give Zinc Oxide.
