Key Features of Activated / Transparent Zinc Oxide

• Very small particle sizes cause very powerful activation of the cure.
• Depending on the type and amount of accelerator present they can considerably delay the onset of cure without simultaneously extending the total curing time.
• Because of stronger activating effect, the amount of this substance needed for the same modulus is lesser as compared to ordinary Zinc Oxide.
• They cause no changes in the colour of the vulcanizates.
• They reduce yellowing in white and light coloured goods which are exposed to strong light.
• As they do not have pigmenting properties, they do not influence effect of colour pigments provided they are not too heavily loaded.
• Due to exceptionally low lead compound contents they are particularly suitable for vulcanizates intended to be practically free from heavy metals.
• Do not boom
• Can be used as activators in sulphur cures, peroxide cures, sulphurless metallic-oxide cures.
• Used as cross linking agent for lattices with reactive groups and for CR.
• Suitable for following types of rubber-NR, IR, BR, SBR, NBR, IIR, CR, EPDM, CSM.
• Transparent goods like injection caps, condoms, gloves, lab. appartus.
• Rubber foam.
• Highly elastic vulcanizates [spring components].
