Properties of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanopowder:

Nano-zinc oxide is a new type of functional fine inorganic chemical material. ZnO nanopowder has high melting point, good thermal stability, electromechanical coupling, luminous, antibacterial, catalytic and excellent ultraviolet shielding performance.

Application of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Nanopowder:

1. Photocatalyst: as a photocatalyst, nano ZnO can greatly increase the reaction rate without causing light scattering, and have a wide energy band.
2. Antibacterial material: nano ZnO is a new broad-spectrum inorganic antibacterial material, having a strong destructive effect on a variety of fungi.
3. Air purification materials: The peroxide and free radicals produced by the nano-zinc oxide for the photocatalytic reaction have a strong oxidizing ability and can decompose the odor. Thus ZnO nanopowder can be used to manufacture antibacterial and deodorizing chemical fibers, decompose the harmful gas generated during the decoration of the house to achieve the purpose of purifying the air.
4. Cosmetics: Nano zinc oxide is a broad-spectrum inorganic ultraviolet shielding agent. Due to its effective shielding, safety and antibacterial properties of UVA, it has been widely used in cosmetics such as sunscreen.
5. Rubber: nano ZnO is used as an active, reinforcing and coloring agent, which greatly improves the wear resistance, anti-aging, anti-friction and fire performance, and service life of rubber.
6. Ceramics: greatly reduce the sintering temperature thus reduce the energy consumption, achieve bright appearance, dense texture, excellent performance, and new functions of antibacterial deodorization.
7. Coatings: The dosage is greatly reduced, but the indicators of coatings are greatly improved
8. Textile industry: ZnO nanopowder is used for multi-functional textile materials for its antibacterial, ultraviolet protection, super-hydrophobic, antistati, semiconductor properties, etc.
9. Functional plastics: ZnO nanopowder makes plastics own excellent performance.
10. Glass industry: used in automotive glass and architectural glass.
11. Flame retardant synergist: besides flame retardant effect, the use of nano zinc oxide in cable coatings can also increase the resistance of the coating to ultraviolet radiation and weaken the sensitivity of the coating to humid environmental conditions and improve aging resistance.
