Chemical Formula: ZnCl?
Molecular Weight: 136.30 g/mol

Description:
Zinc Chloride is a white crystalline, highly deliquescent inorganic compound available in various concentrations such as 80–85% and 90–95%. It is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and glycerol, and known for its powerful dehydrating and catalytic properties. Zinc Chloride is widely used in flux formulations, textile processing, galvanizing, and chemical synthesis.

Applications

• Flux & Galvanizing:
  Used as a fluxing agent in galvanizing, soldering, and tinning processes, promoting strong metal adhesion and preventing oxidation.

• Textile Industry:
  Acts as a mordant and fabric treatment agent to enhance dye uptake and improve fabric strength.

• Chemical Manufacturing:
  Serves as a catalyst, dehydrating agent, and intermediate in the preparation of various zinc salts and organic compounds.

• Battery Industry:
  Used in the electrolyte formulation of dry cell batteries.

• Wood Preservation:
  Functions as a preservative and fire retardant for wood and timber treatments.

• Water Treatment:
  Employed in industrial effluent treatment and pH regulation processes.
