Description
Zinc Acetate Product Overview
Zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O) is a white crystalline powder with a faint acetic odor that dissolves easily in water. It contains about 30% zinc.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it as an active ingredient in some markets and in oral and topical preparations. Similarly, polymer producers use it as a catalyst in polyester and vinyl acetate processes, and materials researchers use it as a precursor for zinc oxide nanoparticles and thin films. Textile and leather processors also use it as a mordant.
Notably, related zinc compounds in our range include Zinc Oxide, Zinc Sulfate and Zinc Gluconate.
Key Applications of Zinc Acetate
