40% Active Zinc Oxide Customized Production – High-Performance Solutions for Rubber and Industrial Applications
Jingxian Tianyi Iron Tower Manufacturing Co., Ltd. – Zinc Oxide Division supplies
customized 40% active zinc oxide at about half the cost of GB-standard ZnO, with
excellent dispersion and fast vulcanization performance for rubber and industrial products.
Introduction
Choosing the right raw material is critical to balancing performance and cost. 40% active zinc oxide (active ZnO)
has become a preferred option in rubber compounding and specialty industrial applications because it delivers
high reactivity and uniform dispersion at a significantly lower price point compared to GB-standard ZnO (99.7%).
For background on zinc oxide’s industrial roles, see the
International Zinc Association.
customized 40% active zinc oxide. For many general-purpose and industrial rubber applications,
our customers report minimal performance differences versus high-content ZnO, while benefiting from
roughly 50% lower material cost and lower dosage in recipes.
What Is 40% Active Zinc Oxide?
40% active ZnO is engineered with increased surface activity and fine particle morphology to boost
reaction efficiency in systems such as sulfur vulcanization. Because performance is driven by surface
activity and dispersion quality, an active grade can achieve target properties with less ZnO usage.

Rubber Chemistry and Technology.
- High chemical reactivity – accelerates vulcanization and cross-link density development.
- Fine particle size & narrow PSD – improves dispersion and compound consistency.
- Lower dosage requirement – typically 3–4 phr vs. 5–6 phr for standard grades.
- Thermal & storage stability – suitable for common rubber processing conditions.
Key Applications
Rubber & Elastomers
- Automotive tires, hoses, and belts (faster cure, strong mechanicals)
- Seals, gaskets, vibration dampers (aging and ozone resistance)
- Footwear soles and sports goods (flexibility and resilience)
See market insights from the International Rubber Study Group (IRSG).
Industrial & Specialty
- Ceramics (flux and glaze functions)
- Paints & coatings (UV protection, anti-corrosion)
- Adhesives & sealants (bond strength and stability)

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA).
Cost Advantage vs. GB-Standard ZnO
Our 40% active ZnO is positioned at about half the price of GB-standard 99.7% zinc oxide while
maintaining comparable functional performance in many mainstream applications. This is ideal for
manufacturers prioritizing cost reduction and efficiency improvement without compromising
product reliability. Proper handling and workplace safety must follow
OSHA and
REACH guidance.
| Feature | 40% Active Zinc Oxide | GB-Standard Zinc Oxide (99.7%) |
|---|---|---|
| Reactivity | High (active surface area) | Standard |
| Typical Dosage | 3–4 phr | 5–6 phr |
| Dispersion | Excellent | Good |
| Vulcanization Speed | Faster | Standard |
| Cost Efficiency | ★★★★★ (≈50% lower price) | ★★★☆☆ |
