IH Zinc Oxide

IH Zinc Oxide is produced using the direct process (American process).

ZnO -used in the glass and ceramics industry- acts as modifying agent of flowing in frits preparation. It presents the same capacity when used in the preparation of enamels destined to plain products for floors and walls or in sanitary products or kitchen sets. ZnO usage in the formulation of certain glasses permits to reduce the thermal expansion coefficient and improves the resistance to chemical attacks. Regarding lighting, it increases light sensibility, optical density and refraction ratio. It improves whites and brightness. It may also increase opacity in a significant way.

It is essential in the manufacture of artistic glass objects, glass to be used in optics, transparent glasses, kitchen elements, ceramics, enamels, paints, catalysts, rubber compounds, etc.
