Zochem Zochem Our Zinc Oxide product is a brilliant white powder manufactured by the French (Indirect) Process.
Grade 800WSA is used where lower impurities and high assay are required, and where a wider m2/g surface area is suitable. Applications include fertilizer, feed, ceramics, and all other applications except where a special zinc oxide characteristic is required or requested.
Grade 800WSA replaces grades ZOCO 300 and ZOCO 301.
Grade 800WSA meets GMP 21CFR110, is USFDA approved as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) at 21cfr182.8991 and is authorized by the USFDA for use wherever GRAS is approved including food contact in rubber, plastics, and coatings.
Grade 800WSA also meets the requirements of ASTM specification D79, 2002/95/EC Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS) for heavy metals and Waste Electrical and Electronic Directive (WEEE), and other regulations where high quality zinc oxide is required.
