Zinc oxide for diverse applications
ZoChem manufactures zinc oxide grades used in tire products, paints, lubricants, adhesives, and pharmaceutical and food applications. Each application requires tightly controlled material properties to meet performance and regulatory demands.
Surface area as a key quality parameter
Particle size is characterized through specific surface area, ranging from approximately 2 m²/g to 10 m²/g across different zinc oxide grades. Accurate BET analysis is therefore critical to ensure product consistency and customer satisfaction.
Rapid results with Nova 800 BET
Using the Anton Paar Nova 800 BET, ZoChem can obtain surface area results in as little as 10 minutes per sample. Even full batches of multiple samples can be analyzed within around 30 minutes, enabling fast decision-making in production and quality control.
Accuracy, consistency, and reliable support
The Nova 800 BET delivers highly accurate and repeatable surface area results that align well with customer expectations. Combined with responsive technical support and low operating costs, the system provides long-term value in daily laboratory operations.
