Zinc Sulfide is used as a friction material to carry sulfur, which hardens rotor surfaces and thereby reduces wear. Also in printing inks, UV-hardened systems, powder coatings, adhesives, insulating & sealing compounds, thermoplastic pigmentation, thermosets, flame resistant plastics, glass-fiber reinforced plastics, pigment concentrates, elastomers,. textile fibers, paper, mastics, lubricants, electroluminescent lamps, infrared windows, domes and optical elements.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
