zochem zinc oxide improves
paint & coating performance
Zochem provides a wide variety of ZnO surface areas
to optimize opacity, reduced yellowing, and increase
hiding power. Additional benefits include:
• Protection from otherwise harmful UV radiation.
• High surface area zinc oxide can be used as a can
lacquer coating to prevent the effects of food
discoloration from sulfides of iron or tin
• Good corrosive inhibiting properties
• Toughens film
• Inhibits mold and mildew growth
• Improves water resistance
• Improves biocidal properties, color retention and
durability
• In exterior oil-based and most latex formulations,
Zochem low surface area zinc oxide improves
tapes and consistency and low reactivity
adhesives • Neutralizes potentially harmful acids
Zochem Grade 103 Recommended
Many tapes and their adhesives are rubber-based, zinc oxide
which use ZnO as a cross-link cure activator.

Zochem zinc oxide:
• Adds strength to rubber tapes and adhesives oil additives
• Improves resistance to heat and abrasion and lubricants
• Helps guard against degradation from sunlight or
other sources of UV
Industry studies have demonstrated the benefits of
• Used as a catalyst or cross-linker in certain
adhesive formulas zinc oxide power as an additive to oil and petroleum-
based lubricants. For example:
• Imparts reinforcement
