About Nano Zinc Oxide

Hello to every one here, who is using this great web site. This is really a great portal.
I am Management graduate (MBA) With Marketing. Currently working as a management Trainee for a chemical Company. In my Summer internship, which I have done in the same company where I have been placed now. At that time I was doing research on NANO ZINC OXIDE, So if any one who currenly using Nano Zinc oxide in their applications or who are aware of this chemical then please can you tell me exactly what is its current price. (Market Price).

Dear Sunil,
I am glad that you have interest in nano ZnO since I have been doing research on nano ZnO for three years and published over ten papers on it.
Nano ZnO is currently being used to make nano-textiles (self-cleaning, anti-germ, UV-protected), photocatalysts (kill germs), light substrates, cosmetics, UV sunscreens, copy toners and specialty polymers/rubbers. Micron-sized ZnO is the traditional ZnO that is heavily used in rubber, varistors, talcum powder, ferrites, paint pigments, ceramics and animal food supplement.
My last check on the prices of nano ZnO is about USD80 per kg, if you buy in bulk. This price is for 30nm size ZnO. If you purchase a size lower than 30nm, it will cost more.
Good luck on your research,
