Usage Areas
Usage in the Formulation of Plant Nutrition Products
It is preferred as a zinc source in the formulation of liquid plant nutrition products. Zinc oxide is soluble in acid solution but not in water. In case of using zinc oxide in water-based liquid formulations, particle size reduction-milling process should be applied. Therefore, zinc oxide is also used in SC formulations of specific plant nutrition products with high zinc content. You can get technical support and detailed information from our company for the raw material and process to be used as a zinc source in plant nutrition formulations.
Agriculture
Zinc plays a role in the enzyme system that regulates plant growth. Zinc deficiency is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies in crops and pastures worldwide, causing major losses in crop production and crop quality.
Feed Additive
In the feed additive industry, zinc is used as a trace element source in mineral element mixture formulations prepared to meet the mineral needs of animals. Trace elements are important in animal nutrition. Even in small amounts, they are linked to the function of enzymes and hormones. For example, zinc deficiency causes poor growth, loss of appetite and a poor feed conversion rate. It also has an important function in defense enzymes. Feed grade zinc oxide is used as an additive in various feed products such as bird, pet and fish feed.
Industrial Applications
It is used as a raw material in a wide variety of areas such as paint production, tire production, rubber production, cosmetic product production, ceramic material production, and the coating industry.
