Applications
Rubber and Elastomers
American Zinc offers grades of high-purity French Process zinc oxide made exclusively from 99.995% pure zinc for rubber and elastomeric compounds. Lesser purity grades that are available in the North American market are made from zinc secondaries. . .
Zinc Chemicals
Zinc oxide is an inevitable reactant in production of almost all zinc compounds. American Zinc produces zinc oxide exclusively from 99.995% pure zinc metal resulting in a negligible level of impurities in our product. . .
Lubricants and Oil Additives
Our high-purity French Process zinc oxide made exclusively using 99.995% pure zinc is best suited to the production of high-performance specialty lubricants, grease, and oil additives (e.g., ZDDP). American Zinc produces a consistent product that has a very low level of other metal impurities like lead. . .
Paints, Coatings and Ink
Zinc oxide is a true pigment in paints, coatings and ink formulations, used in combination with other true pigments like titanium dioxide. Our high-purity French Process zinc oxide made exclusively using 99.995% pure zinc is best suited to formulating paints, coatings, and printing inks. . .

Glass and Ceramics
American Zinc produces a high purity zinc oxide made exclusively using 99.995% pure zinc metal for the glass and ceramic industry. The clarity of glass and the whiteness of ceramics is in inverse proportion to the level of impurities in the zinc oxide used. . .
Electronics
In the production of metal oxide varistors and surge arrestors, the purity and surface area of zinc oxide used are critical. American Zinc produces zinc oxide exclusively from 99.995% pure zinc to deliver this. MOVs and surge arresters in their production are subjected to high-temperature and high-pressure molding. . .
Plant Micronutrients
Zinc radical is a growth promoter in plants. Zinc radicals are absorbed into plants, either from the soil or foliage when zinc-fertilizer is applied and the radical combines with the enzyme catalyzing photosynthesis. This greatly increases crop yields. . .
Animal Micronutrients
Animals absorb elemental zinc directly from zinc oxide supplements in animal feeds. It plays a role of a muscle growth promoter for higher meat yields. American Zinc produces zinc oxide from 99.995% pure zinc to ensure that the levels of poisonous lead are extremely low.

Adhesives and Tapes
Rubber-based adhesives, also known as neoprene-based or isoprene-based or chlorinated rubber latex adhesives greatly improve their adherence to surfaces to be bonded by incorporating in them zinc oxide as a curing agent for cross-linking. . .
Plastics
Zinc oxide is a common ingredient of the plastics compounds to improve color fastness of other colorants in case of colored and translucent plastic compounds. Additionally, it imparts heat and light stability to plastic compounds which helps the clear compounds (and) retain their product transparency longer
