Chemical Intermediate

Zinc oxide is used in the production of hundreds of different zinc-based chemicals as a reaction intermediate.  Here are examples in various industries:

Agricultural

  • Zinc sulfate – encourages plant growth
  • Zinc nitrate – corrects zinc deficiencies
  • Zinc EDTA – chelating agent

Construction

  • Zinc borate – smoke suppressant, flame retardant
  • Zinc octoate and neodecanoate – paint driers, PVC stabilizers
  • Zinc phosphate – corrosion resistance

Rubber

  • ZMBT, ZDMC, ZDEC, ZDBC – accelerators
  • Zinc stearate – mold release agents
  • Zinc diacrylate – golf ball centers

Miscellaneous

  • Zinc bromide – oil well drilling fluids
  • Zinc citrate – dental care, human nutrition
  • Zinc chloride – batteries, metallurgical fluxes
  • Zinc gluconate – zinc lozenges
  • Zinc resinate – printing inks
