Zinc Oxide for Rubber & Tyre Industry

Enhancing rubber vulcanization and tyre performance with high purity Zinc Oxide (99.50% min)

Why Zinc Oxide is Essential in Rubber Manufacturing

Zinc Oxide plays a critical role as an activator in rubber vulcanization, significantly improving the physical properties of rubber products. Our Zinc Oxide is specially formulated for optimal performance in rubber applications.

Key Functions in Rubber Compounds:

  • Vulcanization Activator: Works with accelerators to optimize the cross-linking of rubber molecules
  • Heat Conductivity: Improves heat dissipation during processing and service
  • Mechanical Properties: Enhances tensile strength, elasticity, and abrasion resistance
  • Age Resistance: Protects against oxidative degradation and extends product life
  • Processing Aid: Improves mold flow and release characteristics
