Zinc Oxide for Paints & Coatings

Why Zinc Oxide is Essential in Paint Formulations

Zinc Oxide serves as a multifunctional additive in paint and coating systems, providing both protective and aesthetic benefits. Our high purity Zinc Oxide is specially processed for optimal performance in coating applications.

Key Functions in Paints & Coatings:

UV Protection: Absorbs harmful UV radiation to prevent substrate degradation
Corrosion Inhibition: Provides cathodic protection for metal substrates
Mildew Resistance: Natural fungistatic properties inhibit mold growth
Opacity & Whiteness: Contributes to hiding power and brightness
Durability: Enhances chalk resistance and weatherability
Film Strength: Improves hardness and abrasion resistance
