Why Zinc and Copper Compounds Matter

Zinc and copper compounds play crucial roles across multiple industries, from enhancing the performance of materials to providing essential properties for specialized applications. Zinc oxide (ZnO), for example, is a versatile inorganic compound that is used for its catalytic properties, UV protection, and antibacterial qualities. Copper compounds like copper oxide (CuO) and copper carbonate (CuCO3) are vital in electronics, catalysis, and petrochemical processes.

Zinc Compounds

Zinc oxide and its derivatives—such as active zinc oxide, active zinc oxide CS AZO, zinc carbonate, and nano zinc oxide—are widely used in industrial sectors due to their unique properties:

Zinc oxide is essential in the production of rubber products like tires and automotive parts, offering durability and heat resistance.

Active zinc oxide provides enhanced chemical reactivity, making it suitable for high-performance applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics.

Active zinc oxide CS AZO The "CS" stands for "Clean and Sustainable." This type of active zinc oxide is manufactured using environmentally friendly methods that minimize pollutants and waste, supporting eco-friendly manufacturing processes.

Nano zinc oxide is widely used in cosmetics, textiles, and coatings, offering superior UV protection and antifungal properties.

Zinc Oxide Production and Quality

Pan-Continental utilizes three methods for zinc oxide production: the direct, indirect, and wet processes. Each method caters to specific industry needs, with products characterized by their chemical reactivity and purity.

Direct (French) Process

In the direct process, also known as the French process, metallic zinc is vaporized by heating at controlled temperatures and then combusted in air. The zinc used can be either pure or sourced from recovered zinc. This method generally results in a product that can vary in quality and is often used in applications like rubber, ceramics, and chemicals.

Indirect (American) Process

The indirect process, or American process, involves the reduction of zinc ore in an atmosphere of carbon monoxide, which converts the zinc to a vapor. This zinc vapor is then oxidized with air to produce zinc oxide. Unlike the direct process, the indirect method uses zinc ore rather than metallic zinc. The resulting zinc oxide is typically purer than that produced by the direct process and is suitable for use in more sensitive applications such as food and pharmaceuticals.

Wet Chemical Process

This process involves precipitating zinc oxide from a solution of zinc salts. Zinc salts, like zinc sulfate, are treated with a base to precipitate zinc hydroxide, which is then calcined (heated) to convert it to zinc oxide. This method allows for the production of very fine zinc oxide particles with high purity and uniform particle size distribution. Zinc oxide produced through this method is often used in high-end applications such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.

Copper Compounds

Copper compounds are equally vital for their wide-ranging applications:

Copper oxide (CuO) is a high-purity material used in the electronics industry for copper electroplating, as well as in the petrochemical industry as a catalyst.

Copper carbonate (CuCO3) is another important material in electronics, particularly in advanced semiconductor manufacturing processes and gravure plating.

Applications of Zinc and Copper Compounds

Pan-Continental Chemical Co., Ltd. has established itself as the go-to supplier for industries that require top-quality zinc and copper compounds. Some of the most common applications of these chemicals include:

Rubber and Plastics: Zinc oxide is crucial in the vulcanization process, enhancing the durability and heat resistance of rubber products like tires and gaskets. Active zinc oxide also plays a role in plastic formulations, improving strength and longevity.

Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics: Nano zinc oxide is widely used in skincare products for its UV-blocking and antibacterial properties. Copper compounds are utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for various therapeutic and industrial applications.

Electronics and Semiconductors: Copper oxide and copper carbonate are essential in the electroplating processes used in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced electronics. These compounds also serve as catalysts in the petrochemical industry.

Paper and Textile: Zinc oxide’s catalytic and antibacterial properties make it a valuable additive in paper production and textile processing, ensuring product longevity and improved performance.
