In the cosmetics industry, zinc oxide is primarily used as a sunblock in sunscreen lotions and creams. Its high refractive index allows it to block both UVA and UVB rays effectively, providing broad-spectrum protection. Zinc oxide is a key component in the vulcanization process, acting as an activator for sulfur to cross-link polymer chains. This results in improved elasticity, strength, and wear resistance in rubber products. In the ceramics and glass industry, zinc oxide acts as a flux, reducing the melting point of materials and improving the transparency, brightness, and durability of glass and ceramic products.
In agriculture, zinc oxide is used to address zinc deficiency in soil, thereby promoting healthier crop growth and higher yields. It is typically applied as a zinc fertilizer. In the manufacturing of paints and coatings, zinc oxide is utilized as a white pigment, contributing to the opacity and brightness of the final product. Its corrosion-resistant properties are especially valuable in outdoor applications. In the electronics industry, zinc oxide is a semiconductor material in varistors, protecting electronic circuits from voltage surges by providing variable resistance.
Zinc oxide is used in medical products like ointments and dressings due to its mild antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It is employed in wound healing and skin treatments. Zinc oxide is a separator material in alkaline batteries, improving battery performance and lifespan. Nanoparticles of zinc oxide are integrated into textiles to create fabrics with unique properties, such as UV protection, antimicrobial effects, and moisture-wicking capabilities. In the food industry, zinc oxide is used as a food additive to provide a source of dietary zinc, which is an essential micronutrient.
The growth of the automotive industry in the UK drives the demand for high-quality tires, thus increasing the use of zinc oxide. The automotive industry in the UK benefits from the use of zinc oxide in protective and aesthetic coatings. The UK is witnessing the growth of electric vehicle manufacturing.
