Zinc Hydroxide Carbonate is a multifunctional additive for the rubber industry. It acts as an activator in the vulcanization process, improving the mechanical strength and durability of rubber products. Additionally, it can serve as a flame-retardant additive, releasing water and carbon dioxide upon decomposition to reduce flammability. These properties make it an essential component for high-performance and safer rubber formulations.
Key benefits of Zinc Hydroxide Carbonate in Rubber Industry:
Lohtragon® O08 is an essential precursor for zinc-based pigments such as zinc oxide, widely used in paints, coatings, and printing inks. It enhances the opacity of pigments, ensuring better coverage with less material, while its bright white appearance provides an excellent base for creating vibrant and uniform colors. These properties make it indispensable for producing high-quality, visually appealing pigment formulations.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® O08 in Pigments:
Lohtragon® O08 is a valuable additive for glass and ceramics applications. It is used in ceramic glazes to improve texture, finish, and durability, while also acting as an opacifier to enhance the opacity and brightness of glass and ceramic products. These properties make it essential for achieving high-quality, visually appealing, and long-lasting results in glass and ceramic manufacturing.
Key benefits of Lohtragon® O08 in Glass & Ceramics:
Zinc Hydroxide Carbonate is a versatile additive for chemical synthesis applications. It serves as a precursor for heterogeneous catalysts and an intermediate for synthesizing other zinc-based compounds, such as zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and zinc acetate. Its controlled decomposition under heat provides a reliable zinc source, while its alkaline nature supports pH regulation to maintain stable reaction environments. Additionally, it functions as a buffering and chelating agent, effectively binding with metal ions to enable controlled metal availability in various chemical processes.
Key benefits of Zinc Carbonate in Chemical Synthesis:
Lohtragon® O08 is an effective zinc metal source for surface treatment applications. It facilitates the efficient conversion to zinc oxide, forming a durable and adherent layer that enhances the longevity of treated surfaces. Additionally, it improves heat resistance by creating a stable, high-temperature-resistant layer, making it ideal for surfaces exposed to elevated temperatures. These properties ensure robust and long-lasting protection in industrial surface treatment processes.
