Zinc Oxide in Ceramics

The biggest use of zinc oxide is in glass and ceramics, where the main role is as a fluxing agent in the preparation of frits and enamels for ceramic wall and floor tiles, or of enamels for sanitary and tableware ceramic objects.

Zinc oxide is currently used in the fabrication of artistic glass, table and cooking ware, crystalline glass, …

While our direct grade, and more particularly our EPM or Oxmer 500 grades, are used all over the world for the production of frits, artistic glasses or enamels use our different qualities of indirect grade, depending on the chemical quality requested.
