Abstract
Zinc oxide became a frequent component of 20th-century paints following its first commercial availability in the previous century. Aspects of zinc oxide pigment production and paint formulation which influence the reactive tendencies of zinc oxide in oil-based paints are reviewed. Particular attention is given to the formation and aggregation of zinc soaps which have been linked to deterioration in paintings. Pigment particle properties, fatty acid profiles, paint additives and environmental conditions are all significant factors.
