PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

ZNO-60zinc oxide dispersion is readily incorporated directly into latex emulsion

compounds. Zinc oxide is a commonly used ingredient for the pigmenting and vulcanizing

of latex rubber. Normal use level is 1.0 - 4.0 parts per hundred in SBR and Natural latex.

Octocure 573 is based on French process zinc oxide having a surface area of 8 to 10 m2/g.

Zinc oxide has approval by the FDA for use under the following: CFR 21, Sections 175.105,

175.300, 176.170, 176.180, 176.210, 177.1210, 177.1650, 177.2600. It is the responsibility

of the manufacturer of the FINAL article to ensure that the article complies with the

extraction limitations and other limitations, including use limitations, applicable to its intended use and is technically suitable for that particular use.

STORAGE AND HANDLING:

Containers should be kept tightly closed; avoid direct sources of heat or sunlight when

possible. Once a drum has been opened, it is important not to introduce bacteria into the

drum. Make sure the part drum is used quickly and that all stock is rotated on a first-in,

first-out basis. Protect from freezing. Store at 40 – 90 deg F. Contents should be stirred

using mechanical agitation prior to use. Shelf life expected one year from date of manufacture

provided the material is stored at proper temperatures and containers remain tightly closed.
