• Inflatable boats
• Carpet backing
• Custom mixes
Benefits
• Increases effect of organic accelerators in rubber
vulcanization
• Adds strength to rubber compounds, improves their
resistance to heat and abrasion
• Activates cross-linking between adjacent polymer chains
and effective reticulation for rubber vulcanization
plastics • Reduces heat buildup and wear in tires
• Reduces shrinkage in manufacturing
Zochem is a key partner with major plastics companies
worldwide. A wide variety of plastic-based products can • UV blocker helping reduce rubber degradation
benefit from zinc oxide as an additive in the production • Can improve rubber-to-metal adhesion
process.
• Higher loadings of zinc oxide can improve hot air/heat
aging properties
Recommended applications include:
• Countless plastic products • Too low of a concentration of zinc oxide can lead to
scorching problems
• Polyolefins – acid scavenging in LLDPE, HDPE, and PP
• PVC stabilizers – heat stability
Zochem Grade 400, 400P Recommended
• Thin films – to provide UV light protection
• Catalysts – various uses in plastics compounds
• TPE’s – curing and crosslinking
Zochem Grade 102 Recommended
