Zinc Oxide Paint History and Production Methods
Alchemists named zinc oxide Nix Alpha and philosopher wool. Guidon de Morveau first proposed its paint use in the late 18th century. By the early 1700s it became commercial, with a French naval vessel once painted in zinc oxide.

The American process now dominates zinc oxide pigment production.
