ESG Commitment About Zochem Products Industry Applications Distributors and Sales Tire and Rubber Common Applications of Zinc Oxide for Rubber Products: Truck and passenger car tires Hoses Belts Gaskets Door channel, window channel Shoe soles and heels; boots Wire and cable rubber jackets and insulation Inflatable boats Carpet backing Custom mix Rubber products represent the largest market for zinc oxide. From rubber tires and general rubber to latex compounds, zinc oxide is used as the preferred activator in the vulcanization or curing process. Increases effect of organic accelerators in rubber vulcanization Adds strength to rubber compounds, improves their resistance to heat and abrasion Activates cross-linking between adjacent polymer chains and effective reticulation for rubber vulcanization Reduces heat buildup and wear in tires Reduces shrinkage in manufacturing UV blocker helping reduce rubber degradation Can improve rubber-to-metal adhesion Higher loadings of zinc oxide can improve hot air/heat aging properties Too low of a concentration of zinc oxide can lead to scorching problems Zochem Grade 400, 400P Recommended Zochem ULC (Zochem North) 1 Tilbury Court Brampton Ontario, L6T 3T4 Canada Email: orders@zochem.com Toll Free: 800-324-1806 Phone: 905-453-4100 Zochem LLC (Zochem South) 600 Printwood Drive Dickson, TN 37055 USA Email: customerservice@zochem.com Phone: 615-375-5058 Fax: 615-446-8789 Click here to view Zochem’s Zinc Oxide capabilities and applications brochure Contact Us Zochem LLC (Zochem South) 600 Printwood Drive Dickson, TN 37055 Phone: 615-375-5058 Fax: 615-446-8789 Zochem ULC (Zochem North) 1 Tilbury Court Brampton, Ontario L6T 3T4 Toll Free: 800-324-1806 Phone: 905-453-4100 Email orders or questions regarding purchasing to: customercare@zochem.com © Copyright 2021 Zochem, Inc.
