Zinc Chloride (Anhydrous)

Zinc chloride (ZnCl2), white rod-shaped, granular or powdery crystal, density 2.91 g/cm3, melting point 283℃, boiling point 723℃, tasteless, strong moisture, can absorb water from the air and dissolve. Zinc chloride is soluble in water, and its solution is ac idic. Soluble in methanol, ethanol, propanol, ether and other organic solvent. Insoluble in liquid ammonia. The molten zinc chloride has a good electrical conductivity. Zinc chloride is toxic, corrosive, should be sealed storage.

Coastal Zinc Group as the Asia largest producer of zinc chloride, with a capacity of 35,000 tons per year. Coastal Zinc Group supplies a wide choices of high purity granular & fine powder zinc chloride with different contents and specifications to meet the global customers requirement. 

Coastal Zinc ® Zinc chloride is widely used in: 

Pharmaceutical: Zinc chloride is used as catalyst for organic synthesis in pharmaceutical and chemical industry.

Dry cell battery:Zinc Chloride is commonly used in dry cell batteries as an electrolyte.

Water Treatment: Zinc chloride is used as corrosion inhibitor and scale inhibitor in cooling tower, drinking water and in gas and oil wells.

Galvanizing, Soldering and Fluxes:Zinc chloride is used in fluxing, galvanizing and welding.It dissolves the dense oxide layer on the metal surface, leaving the metal exposed and ensuring the bonding between the metals.

Agriculture:Zinc chloride is widely used in agriculture industry. It could be reacted with chelating agents to form solutions of zinc that are biologically available to plants and animals. 

Resins:Zinc chloride as an important catalyst in the production of Ion - Exchange resins. 

Rubber:Zinc chloride is used as accelerator in the vulcanizing process of rubber.

Paints:Zinc chloride is used in the dye industry as a stabilizer for color developing salt of ice dye, also can be used in the production of reactive dyes and cationic dyes.
