Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Zinc oxideZinc oxide (ZnO) is a white solid in-organic powder that is non-flamma-ble, stable and insoluble in water. Size can vary between 0.5 and 5µm, but typical size is around 1µm. The global usage of zinc oxide is over 1.4 billion tons per year. Main applications are in rubber and ceramics. Other applications include paints, animal feed and pharmaceuticals, and numerous other products and processes of our daily life. Zinc oxide is also added to food products and incorporated in vitamin and mineral supplements. It is also added to fertilizers to cor-rect zinc deficiency in soils. Growth markets are in electronics for conductive coatings and electrode materials. ZnO particles are also widely em-
ployed in fundamental and applied research for hydrogen-storage, field emitters, gas sensors, ultraviolet lasers, solar cells, piezoelectric de-vices and photocatalysts. Zinc oxide has been exploited in catalysts, electronics, optoelectronics and photochemistry in order to utilize its semiconductor characteristics.
Nanoparticle zinc oxide (NanoZnO)Nanoparticulate zinc oxide is made of particles that have at least one dimension less than 100nm. The pri-mary particles tend to strongly bind to form aggregates which further agglomerate in standard condi-tions (ambient air). ZnO is an n-type semiconductor by nature due the presence of intrinsic defects such as oxygen vacancies and Zn intersti-tials. It is one of the most important
wide band gap semiconductors with a wide and direct band gap of 3.37 eV and high binding exciton energy of 60 meV.
ApplicationsZnO nanoparticles have attracted great interest owing to their unique and fascinating chemi-cal, electrical, mechanical, optical and piezoelectric properties. Nanoparticulate ZnO is typically used in cosmetics, suncare, coat-ings, paints and anti-bacterials. In cosmetics it is mainly used in powders, creams and ointments, due to its UVA and UVB blocking properties. The broad range of zinc oxide applications is based on the large number of morphologies that this material can adopt. By means of different fabrication conditions, zinc

oxide can be moulded into nano-structures, nanowires, nanotubes, nanorods, nanoribbons, nanon-eedles, nanocables etc. with novel electronic, optical, and catalytic properties.
PropertiesZinc oxide nanopowders are avail-able as powders and dispersions. Properties exhibited include: • photocatalytic.• antibacterial.• anti-corrosive.• antifungal.• wide band gap.• piezoelectric effect.• UV filtering.
AdvantagesAdvantages of nanoZnO include:• UV block. • Improved transparency.
• Antimicrobial and deodorant ef-fects due to expansion of specific surface area.
SynthesisNanoparticles and nanomateri-als are synthesized by physical, chemical, mechanical and biological methods. Synthesis of nanomateri-als is based on three strategies:
• liquid phase synthesis • gas phase synthesis • vapor phase synthesis.
Methods such as co-precipitation, sol-gel processing, micro-emulsions processing, hydrothermal/ solvo-thermal processing, microwave processing, sono-chemical process-ing, and template processing, high temperature solid state reaction, high energy ball milling, liquid mix
process, rapid quenching process, thermal plasma, UV irradiation and lithography are used for synthesiz-ing nanoparticles. These methods however are expensive, toxic and involve the use of harmful chemi-cals apart from other complexities like low stability of the produced nanoparticles and aggregation of the particles. This contributes to the high cost of nanoparticles and the the lack of widespread up-take in high volume applications. Recently, ZnO nanoparticles have also been prepared by ultrasound, microwave-assisted combustion method, two-step mechanochemi-cal-thermal synthesis, anodization, co-precipitation and electropho-retic deposition.

Applications
APPLICATIONS
The main end user markets for NanoZno are cosmetics & sun-screens. Compared to larger particles, smaller particles provide greater UVB protection but less UVA protection in sunscreens. Particles larger than about 200-300 nm tint the skin white and are unacceptable to most consumers. The advantage of nanoparticle ZnO as a UV absorb-er in personal care and sunscreen applications are:• Long-term protection. • Broad band protection (UVA and UVB )• Non-whitening on the skin.
Secondary markets are in coat-ings and paints and anti-bacterials (hygiene surfaces and textiles). Additional markets are in plastics and electronics. Early stage devel-
opment is occuring in piezoelectrics and sensors.
High volume applications• UV filters in cosmetic emollients used for sunscreen, skincare, and pharmaceutical formulations.• UV-protection of e. g. lacquer films and polymer surfaces.• Antimicrobial and bacteriostatic agent used in deodorant, medical and sanitary materials, glass, ce-ramic and self-cleaning materials.
Low volume applications• Infrared absorbent.• UV-protective textiles.• Transparent conductive films in light-emitting diodes (LEDs).• Transparent conductive thin-films in blue laser diodes, solar cells and liquid crystal displays.
Novel applications• Sensors.• Catalysis.• Water filtration. • Piezoelectrics.• Biomedicine.

Nanomaterials such as nanoparticle zinc oxide are under increased scru-tiny nowadays because of possible health and enviromental concerns. As a result, in some markets like France, nanomaterials must be registered, and in other countries, the use of nanomaterials requires a label.
SafetyThe general public may come into contact with zinc oxide in several consumer products such as sunscreens, cosmetics, deodor-ants, creams, oils, and also coatings, paints, inks, lacquers, varnishes and glue. It can also be an active agent of ointments and can be used as a micronutrient. The concentration of of the substance varies, usu-ally in a range of 2‐20%. Based on the very low toxicity of zinc oxide, exposure is considered to be with-out risk. Nano-sized zinc oxide has been used for over thirty years in various applications, mainly as a UV blocker in sunscreens. When the interest in nanotechnology exploded in the late 1990s, concerns were raised about the safety of nano-sized materials in general as well as for zinc oxide in particular. Due to the existing application in sunscreens and cosmetics, the main concern was possible penetration of small particles into the skin.It has since been demonstrated that nano-sized zinc oxide does not pen-etrate the skin and does not pose a health risk and that it is very similar in terms of toxicological properties compared to ‘regular’ zinc oxide (i.e. bulk form). A comparative study by Cosmetics
Europe (Human safety review of “nano” titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2010, 9, 495–509), which intended to simulate the consequences of systemic exposure to zinc oxide as coated or uncoated nanoparticles, as a pigment or as zinc sulphate, demonstrated that no adverse or persistent effects and hence no na-no-specific effects were observed, even after injection into the blood stream. The toxicological profile of this material does not give rise to concern in human use, since the substance is not absorbed through the skin. A study by the Fraunhofer Institute (“N1-FRAU: Tiered Approach to Testing and Assessment of Nano-material Safety to Human Health”)on safety testing and assessment of nanomaterials found no long-term effects on human health. All inhaled (nano and non-nano) ZnO was completely removed from the lungs by the body. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety also published an opinion that concluded, on the basis of available evidence, that the use of ZnO nanoparticles at a con-centration up to 25% as a UV-filter in sunscreens can be considered not to pose a risk of adverse effects in humans after dermal application (http://ec.europa.eu/health/scien-tific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_o_103.pdf ).
RegulationZinc oxide is approved as a UV filter in Americas (up to 25% concentra-tion) and Asia Pacific. In the Euro-pean Union and jurisdictions that follow EU precedents, products
incorporating nano zinc oxide UV filters need to comply with the nano-labelling rules that took effect European Union Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC 1223/2009) in 2013. In September 2012, the European Commission’s (EC) Scientific Com-mittee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) posted an opinion on zinc oxide, na-no-form. SCCS stated that zinc oxide in its nano-form is safe for use as a UV-filter with a concentration up to 25 percent in cosmetic products (http://ec.europa.eu/health/scien-tific_committees/consumer_safety/docs/sccs_o_137.pdf ). From 11 July 2013, under EU cosmetic regulation 1223/2009, all ingredients present as nanomaterials have to be indi-cated on the package with the term ‘nano’ in brackets; ‘nano’ means: ‘an insoluble or biopersistant and intentionally manufactured material with one or more external dimen-sions, or an internal structure, on the scale from 1 to 100 nm’.The European Commission will hold a conference in mid-late 2014 to look at impact assessment on mea-sures to bring more transparency on nanomaterials on the EU market.The impact assessment will analyse five options:• keep things the way they are;• provide a recommendation on best practices, meant for member states which want to launch their own nanomaterials registry;• collect all available information in a nanomaterials observatory at European level;• propose a regulation creating a European nanomaterials registry focused on substances, similar to the French model; and• propose a regulation for creating a

Global productionThe global production of bulk zinc oxide is 1.4-1.6 billion tons. Main markets are Europe and Asia-Pacific. The minimum worldwide tonnage of nanoZnO produced in 2013 was 31,00 tons (Approx. 2% of world-wide production of 1.4 million tons). This is based on information obtained from contacts in the tar-get companies.
Regional marketsThe main markets for nanoparticle zinc oxide are in cosmetics and sunscreens. In order to get a trans-parent cosmetic product zinc oxide nanoparticles are used in most cases. North America and Europe are the main markets for cosmetics and sunscreens. Growth in Asia and North America have experienced
slowdown in growth, except for Australasia. From November 2012, the Australian government’s Thera-peutic Goods Administration raised the benchmark to SPF50+ which has resulted in consumer demand increasing for higher SPF products.
PricesThe average price for the zinc oxide nanopowders has been estimated to be $1,500-$10,000 per ton. The calculation is based on the price per ton of the trade name and the ton-nage produced. Where price per ton was not available an average price has been taken.

Inorganic UV filters such as zinc oxide (ZnO) and tita-nium dioxide (TiO2) have been used as ingredients in sunscreens for over three decades. However, one appar-ent disadvantage of ZnO is that in it’s macroparticulate (bulk) form in sunscreens, it is visible on the skin as an opaque layer, resulting in reluctance of consumers to use the products.
This visual effect has been addressed by decreasing the particle size to nanoparticle (NP) form. When used in this form, the oxides cannot be seen on the skin but re-tain or even augment their UV-sunscreening properties.Nanosized ZnO exists in three separate states: primary particles (5–20 nm), aggregates (30–150 nm) and ag-glomerates (1–100 microns). Primary particles cluster together to form aggregates and they are the smallest units that are present in a final sunscreen formulation.UVB radiation and UVA radiation are targeted by sun-screens. UVB radiation mainly interacts with epidermal components; UVA radiation penetrates deeper into the skin than UVB, reaching the dermis, where the structur-al components of the skin are (elastin and collagen).As far as texture is concerned, the trend towards lighter formulations continues, with the aim to make the ap-plication of sunscreens a more pleasant experience. Moreover, there is the ongoing trend to develop daily skin care products which also offer UV protection. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles are highly effective for UV protection. Particles are dispersed, not dissolved in

liquid and as a result possess low irritation potential.
Market DriversThe global retail suncare market is estimated to be worth over $9 billion per year. Europe accounts for around $2.7 billion of this market. The current global UV absorbers market is worth over $500 million and the growth rate of zinc oxide significantly exceeds the growth rate for other UV absorbers. There is a clear global trend toward sunscreens with SPF between 30 and 50, which make up for 50 to 60% of the new launches. Sunscreens are one the fastest grow-ing categories of skin care, and suncare is increasing in importance for consumers globally, due to growing awareness regarding the impact and damage of sun on unprotected skin. Europe is the main market, account-ing for approximately 50% of the new product launches, followed by Asia and North America.
Global trends include: • Multi-functional skin care products that provide sun protection benefits to simplify consumers’ lives and make sun protection easy and part of their daily rou-tine. • Saving time / easier application with innovative and improved product application formats including foam, whipped, gel, sticks etc. • Tinted product forms are on the rise and we expect this trend to continue (such as tinted lotions, moistur-izers & BB/CC/DD creams with SPF). • There is rising interest in a sun care regime for babies and children (to start early to develop important habits for the future) as well as the development of milder formulas to meet this target market.
The U.S. and Western European markets for UV absorb-ers in personal care applications still account for over 70% of the worldwide total, although these markets are relatively mature. Suppliers of UV absorbers-and mar-keters of finished products are therefore shifting their focus to Asia-Pacific. This market is expected to show the strongest growth potential for both organic and inorganic UV absorbers for sun protection, skin care, and cosmetics products.

UV filters are increasingly being introduced into dailywear cosmetics and hair care products, and these mar-ket represent a significantly larger growth opportunity than sunscreens. Cosmetic applications require mineral UV filters to be transparent on the skin, achieved using nanoparticle UV filters. In the cosmetics industry UV absorbers are the fastest growth category, up 5% year on year by volume.The big multinationals dominate most markets, including China. Examples of cosmetics products with nanoscale ZnO raw materials incorpo-rated include:• Unilever: W/O emulsion, uncoated ZnO (Sun Defense SPF 30/PA++, Ponds, 8.4% ZnO).

Exposure to UV radiation can lead to the degrada-tion of certain materials. There is a need to protect exposed materials against UV and in some cases to avoid transmission of UV radiation through transparent covers or coatings. The key problem with, for example, wood coatings is that sunlight causes it to degrade very quickly by breaking down the complex molecules with-in it. Existing wood coatings contain ultraviolet (UV) absorbers to protect against this, but these absorbers themselves break down within a year or two.In order to be used for transparent coatings, UV pro-tecting agents are preferably transparent and, in some cases, colourless in the final application. For some ap-plications or end-uses these agents are permanent, non migratory and stable against degradation. Organic UV protecting agents or absorbers can be migratory and have unacceptable long term stability (e.g., less than 10 years). Also, in some cases organic UV absorbers are not
stable against oxidation or at relatively high tempera-tures. Nanoparticle zinc oxide dispersions which can be used as an inorganic transparent UV blocking additive to transparent coatings or materials. The zinc oxide par-ticles will normally range in size from about 5 to about 200 nanometres with a mean particle size of about 50 nm. Nano-zinc oxide is being utilized in new wood pre-servative formulations to impart resistance to leaching, water absorption and UV damage of wood. Nano ZnO has also been incorporated into automotive coatings for UVA and UVB protection from deterioration and improving the colour finish of automobiles.

Bacterial colonization on surfaces is responsible for a high percentage of infections worldwide and significant-ly increase health care costs, which demands develop-ment of advanced antibacterial surface coatings. Infec-tion control is of great importance and requires a high level of hygiene. Hospitals, pharmaceutical production units, food factories etc. need to be rigorously disinfect-ed in order to destroy pathogenic microbes. Applications for antimicrobial coatings include medical products, packaging materials, or filters used in air-conditioning systems. Microbial contamination of water also poses a major threat to public health too. With the emergence of microorganisms resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents there is also an increased demand for improved disinfection methods. The classical biocides function in coatings is to either inhibit the growth of bacteria (bio-static) or by kill them (biocidal). New legislations and the aforementioned possibility of bacterial mutation have forced coating manufacturers to seek new alternatives. Today, more emphasis is placed on the development of bio-repulsive (without killing) antibacterial coatings. A wide variety of organic or inorganic biocides are avail-able commercially and these demonstrate a wide variety

of biocidal and biostatic mechanisms.ZnO nanoparticles have been shown to be useful anti-bacterial and antifungal agents when used as a surface coating on materials and textiles. Nano-ZnO in coating is effective against a wide range of bacteria including E-coli. ZnO nanoparticles have bactericidal effects on both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. They even have antibacterial activity against spores that are resistant to high temperature and high pressure. Zinc ox-ide nanoparticles have been utlized in Dr. Scholl’s foot spray to act as a fungicide and prevent the nozzle from clogging.
