Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Nutritional Supplement (Zinc Source): Used as a zinc supplement in tablet, lozenge, and syrup form to support immune function, wound healing, and enzyme activity in the body.
  • Anti-Viral & Dermatological Agent: Utilized in formulations for treating common cold, acne, and other skin conditions due to zinc’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
  • Astringent & Antiseptic: Acts as a mild astringent and antiseptic agent in external applications and oral rinses.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Intermediate in Zinc Salt Production : Serves as a precursor to manufacture other zinc salts such as zinc carbonate, zinc sulfate, and zinc oxide through chemical reactions.
  • Catalyst or Activator : Functions as a catalyst or activator in organic synthesis reactions, including polymerization and esterification processes.
  • Reagent in Analytical Chemistry : Used in gravimetric and complexometric analysis to detect and quantify various metal ions.
  • Buffer Component : Sometimes included in buffer solutions where a controlled zinc concentration is needed in research.

3. Fabric Solutions

  • Mordant in Dyeing : Used as a mordant to fix dyes onto natural fibers like wool and cotton, enhancing colorfastness and dye uptake.
  • Anti-Microbial Textile Treatment : Provides antibacterial finishes to textiles, especially for medical or sports fabrics, due to its zinc content.

4. Metal Treatment

  • Zinc Electrolyte Additive : Added to zinc plating baths for bright and uniform zinc coatings in electroplating processes.
  • Corrosion Protection Coating : Forms part of zinc-based coatings that offer galvanic protection to steel surfaces in automotive and appliance industries.

5. Polymers & Resins

  • Catalyst for Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Crosslinking : Facilitates crosslinking reactions in PVA and related polymers to improve strength and chemical resistance.
  • Stabilizer in PVC Processing : Acts as a heat stabilizer in PVC formulations, reducing degradation during processing.

6. Agrochemicals

  • Micronutrient Fertilizer : Supplies essential zinc to crops in foliar sprays or soil treatments, especially in zinc-deficient soils.
  • Animal Feed Additive : Added to animal feed to prevent zinc deficiency in livestock and poultry, enhancing growth and reproduction.
