As ceramic zinc oxide has gained widespread recognition for its excellent performance characteristics, its applications are becoming increasingly common. It offers advantages such as ease of forming, good resistance to chemical corrosion and an attractive appearance. Let us now explore the specific characteristics of ceramic zinc oxide when used in coatings.

   As a chemical substance, zinc oxide has a wide range of applications. It possesses a high refractive index, absorbs ultraviolet light, and offers strong tinting and hiding power, alongside excellent lightfastness and heat resistance. When it forms compounds with carboxylic acids and ions in coatings, it can further reduce the sensitivity of the coating. Zinc oxide can also be added to enhance a coating’s weather resistance and resistance to chalking, making it suitable for use in the production of exterior wall coatings. Zinc oxide is available in various forms; for instance, fine-particle, high-purity varieties are used in bucket-packaged coatings. For interior coatings and emulsion paints, needle-shaped forms can be employed to provide higher oil absorption and improve suspension properties.


   Following the addition of zinc oxide, the product coating becomes softer whilst retaining characteristics of durability and impermeability, effectively preventing metal corrosion. Zinc oxide is also used in marine coatings, where it forms a dense compound that further prevents the penetration of corrosive media, thereby serving as a rust inhibitor. Zinc oxide can be utilised in a wide variety of coatings, with a broad range of applications. Whether in exterior wall paints, bucket paints or interior paints, the absence of this substance would significantly compromise the paint’s properties and affect its performance.

   The above outlines the characteristics of ceramic zinc oxide in paints.
