Highly concentrated, mouldable suspension of solid particles (powder) in a liquid to ointment-like (e.g. vaseline) medium, see also zinc pastes. A distinction is made between:
  • Hard pastes: Powder and lipid content are about the same.
  • Soft pastes: The powder content is about 30%, the lipid content is about 70%.
  • Zinc oil: Powder and oil content are about the same.
  • Emulsifier paste: Contains about 30% powder, 50% lipids and 20% emulsifier.
  • Emulsifier containing hydrophilic paste: Contains polyethylene glycol instead of lipids, otherwise like emulsifier containing paste.
