Manufacturing process of Zinc oxide

Step 1: Raw Material Selection

  • High-purity Zinc Ore or Zinc Metal is selected.
  • Raw materials undergo strict quality checks for purity.

Step 2: Oxidation & Purification

  • Zinc is oxidized at high temperatures to form Zinc Oxide (ZnO).
  • The material is purified to remove impurities.

Step 3: Milling & Sieving

  • The ZnO powder is milled and sieved to achieve the desired fine particle size.

Step 4: Quality Control & Testing

  • The final product is tested for assay, particle size, pH, moisture content, and purity as per IP/BP/USP standards.

Step 5: Packaging & Storage

  • Packed in HDPE bags or fiber drums to prevent contamination.
  • Stored in a cool, dry place for maintaining stability.
