Zinc Chloride

Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) is a white and odorless chemical compound which is extremely hygroscopic in nature. Having very deliquescent granules, it has a density of 2.907 making the compound freely soluble in water, ethanol, glycerol, and acetone. It has a melting point of approximately 290 °C, and a boiling point of 732 ̊C. Having numerous applications, zinc chloride is becoming an integral ingredient for industries. Thus, we as manufacturers produce distinctive grades of Zinc Chloride for different purposes. The demand has been growing over the last few years, and our product is used in multiple purposes with various specifications and purity (upto 99%). We supply Zinc Chloride in different forms such as Powder, Solid and Liquid. Purities/impurities can also be adjusted as per customer’s specifications.

❖ In Galvanizing
Zinc chloride is an excellent reducing agent and cleans metal very efficiently.
❖ Dry Cell Batteries
As an electrolyte, a moisture absorbent and a corrosion inhibitor. Zinc Chloride cells are usually marketed as heavy duty batteries.
❖ Water Treatment Chemicals
Zinc chloride is used as speciality corrosion inhibitor in cooling towers, potable water, and in gas and oil wells due to it’s corrosion inhibitor property
❖ ElectroPlating
Used as one of the main raw materials for manufacturing of electroplating chemicals. Zinc also acts as a sacrificial anode for protecting iron.
❖ Catalyst
In the production of methylene chloride from methyl alcohol , zinc chloride is used as a catalyst
❖ Glue and Wood Industry
It is helpful for manufacturing and preserving glue. It also has applications in the wood industry where it is used in saturation of timber.
❖ Petroleum
Due to its high specific gravity, zinc chloride is used in oil and gas wells as an effective packer fluid. Also, being a good emulsion breaker it is used to separate water from oil.
❖ Raw material for Zinc Chemicals
Zinc chloride is an excellent source of zinc as a starting material in the production of other chemicals. It acts as an effective catalyst for removing molecules of water, ammonia or mercaptans.
❖ Rubber Vulcanization
❖ Skin Cancer Treatment
❖ Antiseptic and deodorant preparation
❖ Textile finishing
