An object of the present invention is to provide hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles and method for production of the same. Provided are hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particles having hexagonal-shaped surfaces, wherein the primary particle diameter is 0.01 µm or more and the aspect ratio is 2.5 or more, and 50% or more of 250 particles in a transmission electron microscope photograph satisfy both the requirements (1) and (2):(1) the particle has a hexagonal-shaped surface; and(2) Dmin/Dmax >= 0.3, where Dmax: a length of the largest diagonal line of three diagonal lines of the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle; and Dmin: a length of the smallest diagonal line of three diagonal lines of the hexagonal-shaped surface of the hexagonal plate-shaped zinc oxide particle. |
