Zinc Carbonate Basic

Zinc carbonate basic (ZnCO₃·2Zn(OH)₂) is a white, odorless powder used in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications. It is commonly employed as an intermediate in the production of zinc-based products, a mild astringent in skincare formulations, and an additive in cosmetics. In addition, it serves as a raw material in the manufacturing of rubber, ceramics, and as a precursor for zinc oxide. Zinc carbonate basic is valued for its chemical stability and its role as a non-toxic, environmentally friendly source of zinc.

1. Rubber Industry: It is used as an activator in the vulcanization process of rubber, improving the material’s elasticity and strength.
2. Ceramics: Acts as a glaze ingredient in ceramics, providing a glossy finish and enhancing the appearance of pottery.
3. Cosmetics and Skincare: Used in lotions, creams, and powders for its mild astringent and soothing properties.
4. Pharmaceuticals: Employed as a precursor for producing zinc-based medicines, supplements, and ointments.
5. Paints and Coatings: Serves as a white pigment and protective agent in paints and coatings to enhance durability and resistance to corrosion.
6. Catalyst and Precursor for Zinc Oxide: It is often used as a raw material to produce zinc oxide, which has applications in many industries, including rubber and chemicals.
7. Animal Feed: Added as a zinc supplement to promote healthy growth in livestock.
8. Water Treatment: Occasionally used to purify water, as it can help precipitate out impurities.
