Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a versatile inorganic compound that appears as a white powder and is used in various applications across multiple industries. It is insoluble in water but soluble in acids and alkaline solutions. Stable at high temperatures and can be used in various thermal applications.

Applications:

• Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: Commonly used in creams and ointments for its soothing properties, zinc oxide is a key ingredient in topical treatments for skin irritations, diaper rash, and sunblock formulations due to its UV-blocking capabilities.
• Food Industry: It can be used as a food additive (E706), often as a source of zinc in dietary supplements and fortification of food products.
• Textiles and Coatings: Acts as a pigment in paints and coatings due to its opacity and protective qualities. It can also be used in rubber production to enhance durability.
• Electronics: Utilized in electronics as a semiconductor and in the production of varistors (voltage-dependent resistors) and other components due to its electrical properties.
• Sunscreens: Its ability to block UV radiation makes it a popular ingredient in physical sunscreens.
• Photocatalysis: ZnO exhibits photocatalytic properties and is used in various environmental applications, including water purification.
