Zinc Chloride Powder

Zinc Chloride Powder 99% is a high-purity inorganic compound with the chemical formula ZnCl₂, typically appearing as a white, crystalline or granular powder. It is highly hygroscopic and deliquescent, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air and can liquefy upon prolonged exposure.

Zinc chloride is highly soluble in water, alcohol, glycerol, and ether, forming clear, acidic solutions. It exhibits strong Lewis acid properties, making it widely used as a catalyst, dehydrating agent, and fluxing agent in various chemical and industrial processes.

This compound is extensively used in metal surface treatment, galvanizing, soldering fluxes, textile processing, wood preservation, and battery electrolytes. It is also utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical preparations, and as a disinfectant in certain controlled applications.

Zinc chloride is chemically stable under normal conditions but reacts with water to produce heat and acidic solutions. Due to its corrosive nature, it should be handled with care using proper protective equipment and stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
