Zinc Oxide in Philippines - The Rising Demand and Its Popularity

What is Zinc Oxide?
Zinc oxide is a white granular solid with no odor. It is insoluble in water. Naturally, it occurs as the mineral zincite. This mineral should be processed before it becomes zinc oxide that could be useful for many industries. In other words, zinc oxide is produced synthetically. Zinc oxide is unique because it possesses unique physical and chemical properties. This uniqueness makes it so hard to find an alternative ingredient and thus increases the demand of zinc oxide in the Philippines.
Popularity of Zinc Oxide in Various Industries
Because of its usefulness, zinc oxide is used in many kind industries. Growing population in the Philippines then pushes industries to produce various products to fulfill everyone’s needs. This then affected the demand of zinc oxide in the Philippines. Majority of zinc oxide in the Philippines is used in rubber, chemicals & pharmaceuticals, ceramics, paint & coatings, cosmetics & skin care, and electronics.
One of the biggest industries using the most proportion of Zinc Oxide produced is rubber. Rubber is commonly used in many products as a complementary item or the main product itself. The surge in the automotive industry giving positive contribution to the use of rubber, such as manufacturing of tires, transmission system, automotive and vibration, adhesives, and many more.
The demand for zinc oxide in the Philippines is also growing due to its increasing application in electronics and semiconductors. Great production of smartphones and other devices has increased the demand of zinc oxide.
In another world, the rising trend of the beauty industry to produce multipurpose or all in one product also rising the adoption of zinc oxide in the Philippines. Zinc oxide is known for giving a lot of benefits for skin such as anti UV A & UV B, minimize irritation or inflammatory, and many more. The sales of simple daily beauty products with the benefits of anti-aging, acne healing, UV protection, and antioxidants are proven to be high. This trend then led to the increase of the use of zinc oxide in cosmetic products.
Producing Zinc Oxide
There are various specifications of Zinc Oxide that can be chosen depending on what kind of product will be produced. There are various ways to produce zinc oxide that will result in different specifications of Zinc Oxide. Citra CakraLogam (CCL), only produces high quality Zinc Oxide with French Production Process. Where the metallic Zinc is melted and vaporized at a very high temperature. This vapor then will react with oxygen in the air and produce Zinc Oxide (ZnO) as the result.
Citra CakraLogam (CCL) will only provide Zinc Oxide with excellent quality material and implement the right method. So we can always supply customers with the highest possible zinc oxide purity in the market. CCL uses only Special High Grade (SHG) Zinc Ingots as the primary raw material for production. This will make it possible or the producer to flexibly control the purity, color, and physical property in the result material.
