ADHESIVES & SEALANTS
Zinc oxide is used in adhesive and sealant formulations as a functional additive that influences curing behavior, stability and long-term performance. Its controlled reactivity and particle characteristics support reliable interaction with polymer systems and curing agents in industrial and construction applications.
Key Requirements
Controlled Reactivity
Zinc oxide must provide predictable chemical behavior within adhesive and sealant formulations, supporting stable curing reactions and consistent formulation performance.
Compatibility with Polymer Systems
The material must be compatible with common polymer matrices such as polyurethanes, silicones, epoxies and modified polymer systems used in adhesive and sealant formulations.
Stable Particle Characteristics
Uniform particle size distribution supports stable dispersion and consistent interaction with polymer systems, contributing to reliable formulation behavior.
Chemical Stability
ZnO must remain chemically stable within reactive formulation environments to ensure predictable curing behavior and long-term material performance.
Typical Properties
Zinc Oxide with controlled particle size distribution and stable chemical composition supports controlled curing behaviour, stable dispersion and durable performance in adhesive and sealant formulations.
