Between Activated Zinc Oxide and conventional zinc oxide, there is still a significant difference as the ordinary zinc oxide lacks the features of activated zinc oxide. Active zinc oxide (ZnO) has a particle size of 1-100 nm, whereas regular ZnO has a particle size of 30–150 nm. The surface electronic structure and crystal structure change as the crystal grains are refined, resulting in surface effects, volume effects, and quantum sizes that macroscopic objects lack. Other flexible qualities of active ZnO include the macro tunnelling phenomenon, as well as high transparency, dispersion, and other properties. 

It has been discovered that it has numerous particular activities in mechanics, catalysis, optics, magnetism, and other fields, according to data records, making it a valuable source in a variety of end-user sectors such as chemical, electronics, personal care & healthcare, pharmaceutical, and so on. In the textile industry, active zinc oxide can be used as UV light-shielding materials, antibacterial agents, fluorescent materials, photocatalytic materials, and other applications. Compared with ordinary ZnO products, it has a large specific surface area and high chemical activity. And due to its high chemical activity, it is extensively used in the petroleum, electronics, and environmental protection industries. At the same time, nano-zinc oxide possesses antibacterial and sterilization properties, making it useful in medicine, sanitary ceramics, and ceramics, as well as having good anti-ultraviolet radiation performance.  

Activated Zinc Oxide is actively pushed in the global markets due to its combinedly flexible features. Rubber companies rely heavily on this product since it can significantly improve the vulcanization effect and speed, resulting in rubber goods with an improved tear, cracking, and abrasion resistance. It can also be used as an anti-softening agent to prevent deformation in rubber products, as well as a light-colored glue filler. Hence, the demand for Activated ZnO is likely to increase in the Rubber grade industries compelled by its diversifying properties in the Forthcoming period.
