Zinc oxide coating

Economic Aspects. Table 3 shows that mbber production is the largest market for zinc oxide the downturn in 1980 resulted from a drop in tire production because of the production trend to smaller tires, more importation of tires, and a recession. The drop in paint usage reflects the trend to water-base paints, which originally contained no zinc oxide. However, its growing use in such paints is based upon improved formulations based on zinc oxide. The increased use in agriculture is a result of the realization of the importance of zinc as a trace element. The rise in use of zinc-oxide-coated paper for photocopying is followed by a slackening in use because of a shift to plain-paper copiers.

The lead content of commercial zinc oxide depends on the manufacturer and is in the range 0.002-1.5%. For a zinc oxide coating to be considered lead-free, the lead content must be less than 1.5%. 

The final cement is an opaque solid that consists of excess zinc oxide coated and bonded by possibly aluminum phosphate and zinc phosphate gels. The cement is porous and permeable to dyes [10]. 

Carbon monoxide and dioxide oxidize zinc vapor below 1100—1300°C although only the carbon dioxide reaction is significant. Rapid condensation of the zinc vapor avoids the formation of zinc-oxide-coated droplets, so-called blue powder.

Flame spray metallising is widely used for the protection of metal against corrosion, especially for in situ protection of stmctural members. The principal metal used for spraying of plastics is sine. Aluminum and copper are also used. If the distance from the part is too great, the zinc solidifies before it touches the part and adhesion is extremely poor. If the molten zinc oxidizes, conductivity and adhesion are poor. If the distance is too short, the zinc is too hot and the plastic warps or degrades. These coatings are not as dense as electrically deposited coatings because of numerous pores, oxide inclusions, and discontinuities where particles have incompletely coalesced. 

Antimicrobial agents are used where there is a need to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. The additives can consist of copper, germanium, zinc and zinc compounds, metal oxides or sulfides, metal zeofltes, as well as silver and copper oxide-coated inorganic core particles (154—159) (see Industrial ANTIMICROBIAL AGENTS). 

Other Reinforcement Ma.teria.Is. Other materials that have been used in tire compounds for reinforcement are chopped wire (brass-coated), cotton and nylon flock, chopped nylon strands, polyethylene, zinc oxide, and chopped Kevlar. Most of these materials have very limited apphcation and some are obsolete. Others are used more extensively in soHd mbber industrial tires than in pneumatics. 

As in dry compounding, acid acceptors must be incorporated into neoprene latices because of the wide use of these latices in coating fabrics and metals. The hydrochloric acid that forms during service life has a particularly destmetive effect on coated cotton fabrics that are not adequately protected. High zinc oxide concentration (ca 15 parts) and use of 0.4 parts AJ-phenyl-AT(p-toluenesulfonyl)-/)-phenylenediamine (Aranox, Uniroyal) as an antioxidant provides adequate protection. 

The XeroX Copier Machine Model A was announced in 1949, and involved compHcated manual operation. Copies of acceptable quaUty were operator dependent. The Copyflo printer, introduced in 1955, was the first automated xerographic machine and enabled the production of copies on a continuous web of ordinary paper. Early electrophotographic products used paper coated with dye-sensitized zinc oxide Electrofax which had met market resistance in terms of aesthetics and cost, so that in 1958 the total market was only about 100 million (1—3,5). 

The impressed current method with metal oxide-coated niobium anodes is usually employed for internal protection (see Section 7.2.3). In smaller tanks, galvanic anodes of zinc can also be used. Potential control should be provided to avoid unacceptably negative potentials. Pure zinc electrodes serve as monitoring and control electrodes in exposed areas which have to be anodically cleaned in the course of operation. Ag-AgCl electrodes are used to check these reference electrodes. 

Methyl ethyl ketone may also he produced hy the catalyzed dehydrogenation of sec-hutanol over zinc oxide or brass at about 500°C. The yield from this process is approximately 95%. MEK is used mainly as a solvent in vinyl and acrylic coatings, in nitrocellulose lacquers, and in adhesives. It is a selective solvent in dewaxing lubricating oils where it dissolves the oil and leaves out the wax. MEK is also used to synthesize various compounds such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, a polymerization catalyst used to form acrylic and polyester polymers and methyl pentynol by reacting with acetylene ...

Other alloy additions in commercial use include iron (often a two-layer electroplated coating with less iron—typically 20% —in the under-layer to assist formability and more iron—often 80% —in the outer layer to assist paintability) cobalt (0.15-0.35%) similar amounts of chromium (the zinc/ chromium/chromium-oxide coating known as Zincrox) and a range of ternary alloys and of composite coatings.
