It is also used in food industry as micronutrient additive. “The substance is also used in the plastics industry for making plastic parts,” she added.
“New products are developed based on zinc oxide nano-powder,” she said.
A kind of heat-resistant glue is developed that bears temperatures of 150-200o C. “High adhesion is one of the product’s main advantages” she said, and “the glue can be used for attaching steel surfaces together, to fiberglass, and aluminum.”
