Compounds:Zinc oxide
Zinc oxide is a compound that has the chemical formula ZnO in which the Z stands for zinc and
the O stands for oxygen. This means that zinc oxide consists of one atom of zinc and one atom of
oxygen, which are bound together. Humans use zinc oxide in many different ways, including in
diaper cream, sunblock, paint, rubber goods, and some paper coatings. It is even used in some
foods. Despite the fact that it has so many uses, many people are most familiar with it in topical
form.
ZnO is a white powder that is insoluble in water, and it is widely used as an additive in numerous
materials and products including rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, cement, lubricants, paints,
ointments, adhesives, sealants, pigments, foods (source of Zn nutrient), batteries, ferrites, fire
retardants, and first-aid tapes. It occurs naturally as the mineral zincite, but most zinc oxide is
produced synthetically.
