Zinc Chloride
Zinc Chloride supplier and exporter.
Supplier of Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2) best quality in High purity Grade, Battery Grade, Technical Grade and Commercial Grade. All these are available in Solid, Powder and Liquid (Solution) form.
Our Zinc Chloride is used in multiple applications and is available in various specification and purity up to 99%. We are supplying it to all parts of India as well as exporting to other countries.
Preparation
Zinc Chloride can be prepared from Zinc and Hydrogen Chloride.
Zn+2Hcl→Zncl2 + H2
Zinc exists in only one oxidation state 2+, which simplifies purification of the chloride.
Properties
Zinc Chloride with formula Zncl2 is a white granular/crystalline powder, which is soluble in water having Specific Gravity 2.91, Melting Point 290° C and Boiling Point 732° C.

Use of the Zinc Chloride are Following :
Fluxes :
The property to attack metal oxide and salts from metal surface and gives good metal to metal bonding make Zinc Chloride a better raw material for fluxes.
________________________________
Dry Cell Batteries :
Zinc Chloride is used in Dry Cell Batteries as an electrolyte and also as a moisture absorbent and corrosion inhibitor.
________________________________
Glue :
It is used in manufacture of Glue, Paper, Cosmetics, Synthetic, Fibers, Disinfectants and Fire Fitting form.
________________________________
Electro Plating :
It is one of the main raw material for manufacturing of electroplating chemicals.
________________________________
Wood Preservative :
It is also a good preservative.
________________________________
Water treatment Chemicals :
It is using in water treatment because of corrosion inhibitor property.
________________________________
Catalysts :
Zinc Chloride is used as a catalyst in production of methylene chloride from methyl alcohol.
________________________________
Petroleum :
It is used to separate water from oil as it is a good emulsion breaker. It is also used in oil and gas wells.
________________________________
Rubber Vulcanization :
It is used as accelerator in the vulcanizing process of rubber.
________________________________
Anteseptic AND Deodorant Preparation :
Zinc Chloride is also used to prepare antiseptics and deodorants.
________________________________
Textile Finishing :
Zinc chloride is a more active catalyst than magnesium chloride and almost as active as zinc nitrate. It does not contribute to resin yellowing on white goods and has little effect on dye shades in tinted materials. The textile grade is used as a catalyst in resin systems that impart a durable-press or wash and wear finish to cotton and cotton synthetic blend fabrics. Zinc Chloride 50% Solution also serves as a high quality mercerizing agent for cotton.
________________________________
Raw Material & Other Chemicals :
Zinc Chloride is an excellent source of zinc and used as a raw material for the production of other zinc chemicals.
