APPLICATIONS

Zinc Pyrithione inhibits the growth of fungi, yeast, mold and bacteria. It is used in as an active ingredient in cosmetics. It is used as an anti-dandruff ingredient in shampoo preparations. It is used in used in antifouling paints and sealants. Amine N-oxides are active components in body care products such as shampoo, bubble bath, and hand-soap formulations as they are cationic and can act as a mild conditioner in acidic media. In neutral or weak basic media, they are featured as excellent stabilizer and viscosity building provider.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF ZINC MINERAL
Zinc is an essential mineral having a role in the maintenance of the body's nervous and immune systems (T-cell function). This mineral is involved in the biochemical reactions as an antioxidant in the healing process and develops normal tissues Zinc is a cofactor in enzymatic reactions such as protein synthesis polymerases and in carbonic acid anhydrase. Zinc maintains the body's alkaline balance. Zinc finger, a structural domain found in many gene-regulatory proteins, is a component of hydrophobic hormones acting stabilizing the biomembrane structures and cell membrane metabolism. Zinc deficiencies may result in prolonged wound healing, delayed sexual maturation, mental lethargy, skin changes, and susceptibility to infections. Gluconate and citrate forms are mainly used as zinc supplements. They are easily absorbed by the body.
