Nano Zinc Oxide is highly effective in protecting against both UVA and UVB radiation, providing full spectrum UV Protection. Reducing zinc oxide to nano size, it becomes inherently “transparent” when applied to the skin but maintains its ability to effectively block UVA and UVB radiation. This innovation has allowed NanoArc® Zinc Oxide to be incorporated into any topically applied sun protection product with virtually no whitening effect.

UV radiation is known to contribute to the chemical modification of exposed coating surfaces, resulting in loss of gloss, color change, chalking, and eventually, destruction of the film. NanoArc® Zinc Oxide Dispersions provide superior performance, beyond conventional UV Absorbers for exterior coatings, due to their broad absorption spectrum and long-term stability. In addition to long-term gloss retention and color fastness, NanoArc® Zinc Oxide may also help improve tannin and stain blocking and provide improved coating durability with limited effect on transparency.
