Key Functions: Cosmetics & Personal Care, Food Contact & Additives, Pesticides & Biocides

Zinc pyrithione is used in antifoulant boat paints to control the growth of slime, algae, and marine fouling organisms (i.e., barnacles, tubeworms, etc.) below the water line on recreational and commercial boat hulls (U.S. EPA 2015). It is used as a preservative in a number of food/drinking water contact, and non-food contact articles (U.S. EPA 2015). It is also used as a preservative, and antidandruff, antiseborrhoeic, and hair conditioning agent in personal care product formulations, and is the active ingredient in many anti-dandruff shampoos (EC 2015).
