Zinc
Oxide
chemical
formula: ZnO
( fine powder )
Zinc Oxide
has the uncanny ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, which is why
it's the first choice for powerful sunscreen lotions. Aside from its ability to
treat minor skin irritations and burns, it makes an amazing, rock-hard
adhesive when mixed with an equal amount of Calcium Carbonate and a little
Sodium Silicate to form a paste. This rapid setting adhesive is typically
used to plug firework tubes.
Zinc Oxide also exhibits the piezoelectric effect, generating voltage
under mechanical stress. It has also recently been used to produce blue
LEDs.
