Zinc oxide (ZnO)
Zinc Nacional produces zinc oxide by two diferent methods:
-
Indirect: “French” process (from refined SHG zinc ingots)
-
Direct: “American” process (from zinc concentrates and industrial by-products)
The flexibility provided by having both processes within a single facility allows us to service the full spectrum of customer needs.
Our experienced production team can engineer customized zinc oxide products by modifying physical and chemical characteristics such as purity, particle size, surface area, density, heavy metal content, appearance, granulation, pelletization, flowability, and surface treatments.
Zinc sulfate monohydrate (ZnSO4 · H2O)
Due to our competitiveness and consistent quality, Zinc Nacionalʼs zinc sulfate is preferred amongst users in the animal feed, fertilizer, mining and water treatment industries.
We have two grades (pure and high purity) and five physical presentations, (standard powder, dustless powder, minigranular, granular and maxi granular).
Zinc concentrates
Zinc concentrates produced in our global facilities are used as raw material in the production of zinc metal.
Other products
Zinc Nacional also produces:
Iron concentrate
Lead sulfate
Mixed potassium
Sodium chloride salt used as a flux in the production of aluminum
