Zinc Oxide

As one of only few producers, BrueggemannChemical distributes and produces zinc oxides which are produced according to all three common methods. Direct and indirect zinc oxides are so called thermal zinc oxides which have a broad spectrum of applications. They are utilized for instance in the rubber-, the ceramics/glass-, the pharmaceutical/cosmetic- and the varnish/paint industry.

Active zinc oxide and zinc carbonate are produced wet-chemically through precipitation from a zinc containing solution. BrueggemannChemical manufactures products with specific surface area of up to 100m²/g by a sparing drying procedure. Active zinc oxides are mainly utilized in the rubber industry. In cooperation with its customers, BrueggemannChemical has recently developed new application fields in the area of personal care and household. Due to the achieved extremely high specific surfaces, the active zinc products are used for absorption and adsorption materials for instance for Denox- and desulfurizing catalysts and among others for the production of special zinc products for the chemical industry.
