It has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties. zinc pyrithione antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties make it an active ingredient in many products and play an important role in skin care and disease treatment.

1) In the antibacterial application:

Zinc pyrithione is a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent that can be used in the treatment of skin inflammation, redness, acne and other problems. It has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral effects, and can effectively kill a variety of pathogenic microorganisms, reducing the risk of infection and inflammation. In skin care products, zinc pyrithione is often added to facial masks, cleansers, toners and other products to provide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

2) In paint:

Due to its low solubility in water (8 ppm at neutral pH), zinc pyrithione is suitable for use in outdoor paintsand other products that provide protection against mildew and algae. It is an effective algaecide. It is chemically incompatible with paints relying on metal carboxylate curing agents. When used in latex paints with water containing high amount of iron, a sequestering agent that will preferentially bind the iron ions is needed. Its decomposition by ultraviolet light is slow, providing years of protection even against direct sunlight.

3) Application in cosmetics:

Zinc pyrithione is often used as a sunscreen and anti-acne ingredient in cosmetics. It can effectively absorb ultraviolet rays and block the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin. In addition, zinc pyrithione can also regulate skin oil secretion and reduce pore blockage, thus helping to prevent and improve acne problems. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can soothe skin irritation and help improve skin condition. (Zinc pyrithione shampoo, Zinc pyrithione cream, Zinc pyrithione face wash.)

4) the application in medicine:

Zinc pyrithione is widely used in medicine. It can be used in the preparation of antibacterial drugs, antiviral drugs and anti-tumor drugs. As a pharmaceutical raw material, zinc pyrithione can react specifically with other active molecules to form compounds with specific pharmacological activity, which can be used to treat various diseases. In addition, zinc pyrithione also has certain anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, and has certain application potential in the treatment of some inflammatory diseases.
