Zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a popular cross-linking agent for rubber and for various resins. It is essential in the formulation of solvent-borne polychloroprene adhesives. Furthermore, zinc oxide is a good UV stabilizer, has biocidal activity and has a relatively high refractive index (2.0) which makes it an efficient white pigment. Some typical properties are: density 5.6 g/cm3; particle size 0.036-3 μm; oil absorption 10–20 g/100 g; specific surface area 10–45 m2/g. Zinc oxide is produced by reaction of the metal in the vapour state with oxygen. Zinc oxide is nonporous and is quite pure. Thus, the high surface area of some grades is due to the small particle size of zinc oxide. Some grades, especially for use in the rubber industry, are surface modified by deposition of 0.2-0.4% of stearic acid, propionic acid, or light oil [47].

Environmental concerns have also propelled manufacturers to explore more sustainable production methods. Waste reduction, energy efficiency, and the use of cleaner technologies have become focal points in the industry's evolution. Moreover, the development of new grades of TiO2 pigments that offer enhanced weatherability, reduced abrasion, or improved dispersion characteristics underscores the dynamic nature of this sector.
