Technical application of Zinc Oxide

Q. I want to use Zinc Oxide in Electroplating. But I want to know that if I buy ordinary commercial grade, what problems I can encounter and also what are the advantages of using a technical grade or elctroplating grade of Zinc Oxide. Can I also know the method and the specifications of the right grade of Zinc Oxide to be used in my application.

A. The need for zinc has been answered by commercial zinc ball anodes for decades, may we ask why you want to use zinc oxide instead of zinc ball anodes? What electrolyte do you intend to use? What application do you refer to when you ask us for the "right grade of Zinc Oxide to be used in my application"?
