Uses: Zinc acetate has several applications across various industries:
1. Dietary supplement: Zinc acetate is often used as a dietary supplement due to its high bioavailability of zinc, an essential mineral for human health. It is commonly found in vitamin and mineral formulations.
2. Pharmaceutical industry: Zinc acetate is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for various purposes. It can be an ingredient in antifungal creams, a component in oral lozenges for treating colds and sore throats, or an active ingredient in topical acne treatments.
3. Textile industry: Zinc acetate is employed as a mordant in the textile industry.
4. Catalyst: Zinc acetate is a catalyst in certain chemical reactions. It can promote esterification reactions, polymerization reactions, and other organic synthesis processes.
5. Laboratory reagent: Zinc acetate is used in various laboratory procedures and experiments. It can be used in analytical chemistry, as a corrosion inhibitor, and in preparing buffers or complexing agents.
Packing: It is packed with a polyethylene bag as the inner layer and a compound plastic woven bag as the outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25 kg.
Storage: It should be stored in a dry and ventilative warehouse, kept away from heat and moisture during transportation, and unloaded with care to avoid damage. Furthermore, it must be stored separately from poisonous substances.
