A proven, long-lasting antimicrobial and antifungal agent for personal care, disinfectant, paints and coating and other industries
Zinc Pyrithione (ZPT) is a highly effective antimicrobial and antifungal agent widely used in personal care, household, and industrial applications. Known for its strong activity against fungi, bacteria, and yeast, ZPT helps prevent microbial growth, extend product shelf life, and improve hygiene performance across multiple formulations.
At Suzhou Easy Chemical Co. Ltd, we supply high-quality Zinc Pyrithione suitable for different industries, offering stable quality, regulatory support, and reliable global supply.
Zinc Pyrithione (CAS No. 13463-41-7) is a zinc salt of pyrithione, commonly used as an antimicrobial preservative and anti-dandruff active. It is oil-dispersible and shows excellent efficacy at low use levels, especially against Malassezia species, fungi, and Gram-positive bacteria.
Key Properties:
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity
Excellent anti-fungal and anti-yeast performance
Effective at low concentrations
Suitable for rinse-off and industrial applications
Proven, long-term industry acceptance
Zinc Pyrithione is best known for its role in anti-dandruff and scalp care formulations. It helps control dandruff, relieve itching, and reduce flaking by inhibiting Malassezia fungi.
Typical Applications:
Anti-dandruff shampoos
Scalp treatments and conditioners
Medicated hair care products
Benefits:
Clinically proven dandruff control
Long-lasting scalp protection
Compatible with common surfactant systems
In household formulations, Zinc Pyrithione provides effective antimicrobial protection, improving product hygiene and shelf stability, especially in products requiring long-lasting control of bacteria and fungi.
Typical Applications:
Antimicrobial cleaners
Mold and mildew control products
Specialty household hygiene products
Benefits:
Prevents bacterial and fungal contamination
Enhances product durability
Effective in challenging environments
Zinc Pyrithione can be used in surface hygiene and antimicrobial cleaning products where long-lasting antibacterial and antifungal protection is required. Rather than acting as a fast-acting disinfectant, ZPT provides sustained microbial control, making it suitable for hygiene-focused surface care formulations.
Typical Applications:
Antimicrobial surface cleaners
Mold & mildew control sprays
Surface hygiene maintenance products
Antibacterial surface protection formulations
Benefits:
Long-lasting antimicrobial and antifungal activity
Effective against mold, mildew, and odor-causing microorganisms
Suitable for hygiene-focused, non-disinfectant positioning
Helps maintain clean and protected surfaces over time
Zinc Pyrithione is not positioned as a rapid-action surface disinfectant but as an antimicrobial agent for surface hygiene and protection.
