Zinc Oxide High Grade 99,9% – FOOD Grade (FCC)
Manufactured in Europe from selected European-origin Special High Grade (SHG) zinc, this high-purity zinc oxide grade combines controlled impurity specifications with documented batch traceability.
Its specification is aligned with Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) limits for purity and key heavy metals. A comprehensive technical dossier supports customer qualification for FOOD and NUTRICIONAL applications, as well as assessment for use in FOOD CONTACT materials, including rubber, glass, ceramics and plastics, subject to application-specific requirements.
Positioning
For manufacturers who need more than a standard industrial grade, this zinc oxide combines high purity, controlled impurity specifications and European origin with extensive supporting documentation.
Produced from selected Special High Grade (SHG) zinc, the grade is positioned for food and nutritional applications and for evaluation in materials subject to food contact requirements, including rubber, glass, ceramics and plastics.
The Technical Data Sheet defines purity and key heavy metal limits aligned with FCC specifications, including a maximum lead content of 5 ppm. Documented batch traceability and a comprehensive technical dossier support raw material approval and customer qualification.
Supporting documentation includes the manufacturer’s food business registration in Spain, FDA food facility registration documentation, origin and traceability statements, and external analytical reports.
Specifications and supporting documentation are available to assist with qualification for the intended application. Suitability and compliance of the finished formulation or article depend on its composition, conditions of use and applicable market requirements.
