Nano Zinc Oxide (NZO) is presented in emphasis this time:
Compared with ordinary zinc oxide (particle size ≥100nm), on the basis of two kinds of property from nano material (surface effect, small size effect, macroscopical quanta tunnel effect) and zinc oxide (virulence, unflavour, achromaticity), the nano zinc oxide has the following characteristic and predominance:
a) Sunscreen and anti-bacteria in cosmeticsNano zinc oxide has excellent screen effect to UV-A and UV-B; under the condition of irradiation of sunlight, water and air, the nano zinc oxide has the effect of killing most bacteria by chemical reaction. Caution- this application might be hazardous to your health.
b) Deodorant, antimicrobial, anti-ultraviolet in textile
c) Self-cleaning in ceramicsWhen nano zinc oxide is added into ceramics, sinter temperature can be down by 200--400, glabrous degree will be heightened, production procedure will be decreased, energy consumption will be reduced, in the meanwhile the ceramics has antimicrobial, and deodorant function.
d). Excellent synthetical performance in rubberNano zinc oxide is a kind of important material for high-speed and wearable rubber products, it also can help rubber have the excellence of anti-aging, anti-attrition sparkle, expanding the use life, decreasing the dosage by 30--70%.
e) Anti-aging in paint, coating, plastic.
f) Other applications: Gas sensor, image track record material, piezoelectricity material, fluorescenter, capacitor etc.
Bags, drums and bulk bags
a) Yes. For further information please call the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency at +1.800.535.0202
b) Caution- the use of nano-sized zinc oxide in personal care products might be hazardous to your health
