Zinc Pyrithione Powder

What is Zinc Pyrithione?

Zinc Pyrithione Powder, also known as zinc omadine, dark russell, or ZPT, is known as a "coordination complex" of zinc and pyrithione. Zinc pyrithione forms insoluble precipitates with cationic and nonionic surfactants, is unstable to light and oxidants, and is unstable to acids and bases at higher temperatures. It is incompatible with EDTA and is partially inactivated by nonionic surfactants. In the presence of heavy metals, chelation or dechelation occurs, and these chelates are poorly soluble in water. It was synthesized in the 1930s and is used as an ingredient in skin care and hair products due to its antibacterial, antifungal and antimicrobial properties.

Benefits of Zinc Pyrithione

Antifungal and Antibacterial

ZPT improves the condition of the skin and scalp by interacting with the cells of fungi and bacteria, controlling their numbers.

Improves Scalp Health

Relieves scalp irritation and itching by inhibiting the growth of fungi that cause dandruff, and also regulates oil secretion, preventing itching symptoms caused by scalp problems.

Promotes Hair Growth

Studies have shown that using ZPT shampoo can improve hair growth, which may be due to its antifungal and antibacterial effects.

Soothes Skin Irritation

It can inhibit the growth of fungi and antibacterial agents that cause skin discomfort, helping to relieve itching, redness and irritation.

Regulates Skin Oil Secretion

For conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, ZPT helps regulate the skin's oil secretion and improves the greasy feeling associated with it.

Microbial interaction mechanism of acid production by anaerobic fermentation of sludge enhanced by zinc pyrithione

Effect of ZPT on the total amount and composition of VFAs (a) in anaerobic fermentation of sludge

The presence of ZPT promoted the solubilization and hydrolysis of organic matter in sludge, but inhibited methane production

Concentration distribution of (a) carbohydrates and proteins in different reactors; EEM characteristics of (b) to (f) dissolved organic matter

(a) Ammonia nitrogen concentration, (b) orthophosphate concentration, (c) hydrolase activity, and (d) methane accumulation in different reactors

(b)

ZPT at different concentrations induced changes in microbial communities

The biotoxicity of ZPT can inhibit EPS synthesis and destroy biofilms

Microorganisms can alleviate the toxicity of low-concentration ZPT through quorum sensing systems and two-component systems

The adaptation mechanism of microorganisms to ZPT in aerobic systems and the relative abundance of major functional genes

Applications

Medicine: ZPT is also used in the medical field, mainly for the treatment of skin diseases, especially dandruff and scalp itching and other diseases related to fungal infections. It can reduce the production of dandruff, relieve itching and inflammation, and promote scalp health.

Personal care: ZPT is an important ingredient in skin care products such as shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste, etc. It is mainly used to treat skin diseases such as dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis. It is also used to make antifouling coatings and paints, effectively inhibiting the growth of algae and fungi.
