At Brüggemann, the production of zinc compounds has more than 50 years of tradition and it is one of our core competencies. Our focus is on producing active zinc oxides and zinc carbonates. To meet the increasing requirements for fineness, purity, efficacy, and minimization of consumption we have developed tailor-made products for our customers, which we continuously update in line with changing market requirements and legal constraints.
Brüggemann offers its customers active as well as direct and indirect zinc oxides.The active zinc oxides are our specialty, and we produce them from zinc-bearing solutions through wet-chemical procedures in the precipitation stage. Through a gentle drying process, Brüggemann manufactures products with high specific surfaces of up to 100 m²/g. The active compounds are used primarily in the rubber industry. In our own Elastomer Technical Center we continuously optimize our customers’ formulations. In addition, we keep developing new application areas in the cosmetics and household sectors, but also in the chemical industry. Our direct and indirect so-called thermal zinc oxides serve a broad application spectrum. For instance, they are used in the rubber, glass/ceramics, pharmaceuticals/cosmetics, and paint/varnish industries. Below you will find more information about our zinc oxides: Zinc Oxide RAC, Zinc Oxide RAC S, Zinc Oxide RAC CS, Zinc Oxide AC, Zinc Oxide Pro Series, direct/indirect zinc oxides.
“RAC” stands for “rubber active,” and designates our active zinc oxide produced especially for the rubber industry. Due to its characteristics and its attractive price/performance ratio, it has a vigorously growing market potential.
In rubber compounds, Zinc Oxide RAC enables reduction of the dosing quantity relative to the thermal zinc oxides by as much as 50% with the same or improved physical properties in the resulting product. In addition, Zinc Oxide RAC S offers an optimized grain size distribution.
Additional product information:
Zinc Oxide RAC CS is an active zinc oxide manufactured in accordance with the core shell principle. Zinc oxide molecules in the interior of a conventional particle are not available for forming the important ZnO accelerator complexes.
Since we apply the “core-shell” principle known from medicine and catalysis to zinc oxide, we need less zinc, because only the particle boundary layer of finely distributed ZnO molecules persists – and these are available for chemical reactions. This results in vulcanizates with significantly improved properties.
Additional product information:
Thanks to its ideal particle constitution, this is a product that is suitable for the catalyst industry. With its efficiency, Zinc Oxide AC is also ideal for use in the rubber industry.
Additional product information:
The Zinc Oxide Pro Series maintains its market position in the rubber industry as an active zinc compound, particularly relative to thermal zinc oxides, due to its price-performance ratio.
Additional product information:
A mixture of directly and indirectly produced zinc oxides that enriches many different application sectors. The products Zinc Oxide Premium, Zinc Oxide White Seal, and Zinc Oxide Special are genuine all-rounders.

A product with great potential: In the production of zinc carbonates too, Brüggemann has many years of experience and offers a maximum of quality and efficiency for a wide variety of applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. In these sectors too, we develop specific and individual solutions in close communication with our customers. Below you will find more information about our zinc carbonates: Zinc Carbonate RAC and Zinc Carbonate AC.
A highly active zinc compound of zinc oxide and hydrozincite with an outstanding price-performance ratio, which is particularly relevant for sulfur absorption: our zinc carbonate RAC.
Additional product information:
Zinc Carbonate AC is not only a raw material for organic zinc derivatives. In the rubber industry it is also used in the production of transparent and translucent rubber items.
