4.Environmentally friendly and non-toxic: harmless to the human body and the environment.
5.Skin protection: has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, wound healing and sun protection effects.
Advantages
Broad Application Fields: Suitable for plastics, silicate products, synthetic rubber, lubricating oils, paints and coatings, ointments, adhesives, foods, batteries, flame retardants, and many other products.
Excellent Luminescent Properties: Applied in semiconductor products such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs), thin-film transistors (TFTs), and light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Effective Sunscreen Agent: Capable of absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation, providing broad-spectrum UV protection (both UVA and UVB).
Theory
Zinc oxide belongs to the N-type semiconductor category, exhibiting excellent luminescent properties at room temperature. It has a large energy band gap and exciton binding energy, resulting in high transparency. The principle of zinc oxide absorbing UV radiation is that electrons in the valence band can absorb energy from UV radiation and undergo transitions. The function of scattering UV radiation is related to the particle size of the material, with nanoscale particles offering significant advantages.
