basic dyes are more effective for bacterial staining than acidic dyes because basic dyes have a positive charged chromogen. Bacterial nucleic acids and certain cell wall compo â¦ nents carry a negative charge that strongly binds to the cationic chromogen.
Zinc oxide can be used in ointments, creams, and lotions to protect against sunburn and other damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet light (see sunscreen). It is the broadest spectrum UVA and UVB reflector that is approved for use as a sunscreen by the FDA, and is completely photostable.he zinc oxide is thought to have been produced by heating zinc ore in a shaft furnace. This liberated metallic zinc as a vapor, which then ascended the flue and condensed as the oxide. This process was described by Dioscorides in the 1st century AD.
Zinc sulfate is used as a disinfectant and as a white pigment in paints. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is also used as pigment called zinc white, and is used in antiseptics (zinc oxide ointment for burns). Zinc oxide is used in making rubber to improve the mechanical characteristics of the product.inc is a bluish-white, moderately hard metal. It is brittle at room temperature and at temperatures above 150Â°C, being workable only in the range between 100Â°C and 150Â°C. It is an active metal and will displace hydrogen even from dilute acids. The principal use of zinc is for the galvanizing of iron sheets or wires.
