Zinc Oxide is a chemical element that is indispensable in the production of numerous everyday products. The variety of products calls for a specific choice of the Zinc Oxides used. With our wide range of products we are capable of perfectly meeting the various requirements for specific qualities.

Zinc Oxide plays an essential role as activator in the vulcanisation process in the tyre and rubber industry. It improves the elasticity of glazes in the ceramic industry. High-purity Zinc Oxide grades are needed for special applications within the electronics industry, for example in the production of ferrites and varistors. They are also used in a variety of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products and are specialty basic chemical substances for the production of zinc compounds.

Special types of Zinc Oxide are used as trace elements in the animal feed industry. Introduced into animal feeds via trace element premixes, zinc makes an essential contribution to the health and growth of animals.
