Nanophase Develops New Zinc Oxide Product

Nanophase Technologies Corporation has reported the development of a new, larger size Zinc Oxide product (LSA). The LSA supports continued growth and development of the Zinc Oxide product line with BASF.

This new Zinc Oxide product allows BASF to expand its offerings of inorganic, full-spectrum UV absorbers with superior transparency which addresses a growing trend in sunscreens and daily wear cosmetics.

BASF launched the LSA Zinc Oxide under its Z-Cote brand name on May 15, 2012 at the NYSCC Show.

Nanophase VP of Sales and Marketing David Nelson commented, “Expansion of our Zinc Oxide business in the Personal Care market and our partnership with BASF continue to be critical success factors for Nanophase. The development of this new LSA product will help maintain and drive long-term revenue growth in this market for Nanophase. This is currently the largest market for Nanophase, and an area where we excel in providing consistent, high quality materials that exceed customer needs.”
