tsinkoksiid

Tsinkoksiid is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnO. It is a white, powdery solid that is insoluble in water. Tsinkoksiid is a naturally occurring mineral, but it is also produced synthetically for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It is known for its excellent UV-blocking properties, making it a common ingredient in sunscreens and other personal care products. Additionally, tsinkoksiid is used as a vulcanization activator in the rubber industry, a pigment in paints and coatings, and an additive in ceramics and glass. Its antimicrobial properties also lead to its use in wound healing creams and ointments. The compound is generally considered safe for use in consumer products, though inhalation of fine dust can cause temporary flu-like symptoms.
