| overview | white or light yellow powder, odorless, insoluble in water, can be slowly decomposed by water, above 150 ℃ or dissolved in dilute acid also decomposes to produce hydrogen peroxide. The zinc peroxide products currently on the market are basically a mixture of zinc peroxide, zinc oxide, and zinc hydroxide. The content of zinc peroxide shall not be less than 60%. The effect is similar to that of hydrogen peroxide. Release new ecological oxygen and play a bactericidal effect. The zinc oxide also has a convergence effect. Used for skin and wound disinfection, deodorization, and promote the healing of burn and ulcer wounds. this product is a disinfectant preservative, which is generally prepared into 5% ~ 10% cream or lotion and 25% ointment for external use and applied to skin and wound wounds to disinfect, deodorize and promote wound healing of burns and anaerobic bacteria infection etc. |
