Technical Data

Recommended Usage Level

Typical use level: 0.5%–2.0% of the Zinc Pyrithione 48% suspension, depending on the desired active ZPT concentration, formulation type, and applicable regulatory requirements.

As this material contains 48.60% active Zinc Pyrithione, the quantity required should be calculated based on the actual ZPT concentration desired in the finished product.

Formulation Tip

Zinc Pyrithione is practically insoluble in water, so proper dispersion is essential. Add the ZPT 48% suspension gradually under controlled mixing to achieve uniform distribution throughout the shampoo.

Avoid adding it directly to a finished product without adequate mixing. Maintain sufficient viscosity and suspension stability in the final formulation to help prevent settling.

Safety & Precautions

• For external cosmetic formulation use only.
• Do not use the raw material directly on the scalp or skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes.
• Handle according to the relevant SDS (Safety Data Sheet).
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat.
• Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
• Verify the permitted use level and regulatory status for the intended finished product and target market before commercial production.

Why to Choose ZPT

Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT) 48% Liquid offers a concentrated source of Zinc Pyrithione with a 48.60% assay and very fine particle size, making it a practical choice for formulators developing anti-dandruff and scalp-care shampoos.

Its concentrated format allows formulators to achieve the desired active ZPT level using a relatively small quantity of raw material, while its fine particle size supports effective dispersion when incorporated correctly.
