Zinc Chloride is a white crystalline solid with strong hygroscopic properties and very high water solubility. Its chemical formula is ZnCl₂ and its molecular weight is approximately 136.28 g/mol.
Zinc Chloride (ZnCl₂) is an inorganic zinc salt consisting of zinc and chloride ions. It is widely used as an industrial chemical because of its high water solubility, Lewis acid properties and ability to provide zinc ions in chemical processes.
It is also known as Zinc Dichloride, and the anhydrous compound is identified by CAS No. 7646-85-7.
Because Zinc Chloride is highly hygroscopic, it should be stored in tightly sealed containers and protected from moisture during storage and transportation.
Zinc Chloride is widely used in electroplating processes as a source of zinc ions and as a component of plating solutions.
It can be used in:
Zinc electroplating
Zinc alloy plating
Metal surface treatment
Electroplating bath formulations
Metal surface activation
Its high water solubility makes Zinc Chloride suitable for preparing zinc-containing plating solutions.
Zinc Chloride is commonly used as an active component in soldering fluxes.
Zinc Chloride-based fluxes can help remove metal oxides from metal surfaces during soldering and improve the wetting and bonding of solder.
Typical applications include:
Soldering flux
Welding flux
Metal joining
Tin and zinc soldering
Metal surface cleaning
Zinc Chloride is used as a zinc source, catalyst and processing aid in various chemical manufacturing processes.
It can be used for:
Organic synthesis
Chemical intermediates
Zinc-containing compounds
Catalyst systems
Resin and polymer processing
Production of other zinc salts
Zinc Chloride is also used as a Lewis acid and catalyst in certain chemical reactions.
Zinc Chloride can be used in metal treatment and metallurgical applications, particularly where zinc ions or surface activation are required.
Applications include:
Metal surface preparation
Oxide removal
Metal cleaning
Zinc-related metallurgical processes
Surface treatment formulations
Zinc Chloride has applications in textile processing, including certain formulations used as mordants, sizing agents and processing aids.
It can also be used in specialized fiber and cellulose processing.
Zinc Chloride can be used as a raw material or electrolyte component in certain battery systems and electrochemical applications.
Its high solubility and zinc-ion availability make it suitable for specific electrolyte formulations.
Zinc Chloride has also been used in wood preservation and flame-retardant formulations, as well as in certain paper, rubber and industrial chemical applications.
We provide Zinc Chloride manufactured according to controlled production and quality inspection procedures. COA can be provided for each shipment.
Different purity levels can be supplied according to the customer's application and technical requirements, including industrial-grade and higher-purity products.
As a professional chemical supplier and exporter, we provide competitive prices for bulk orders and container shipments.
Standard packaging and customized packaging solutions are available according to customer requirements.
We support international shipments and can provide the necessary commercial and shipping documents, including:
Commercial Invoice
Packing List
Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Safety Data Sheet (SDS/MSDS)
Certificate of Origin
Bill of Lading
Other documents according to destination requirements
Common packaging options include:
25 kg woven bags with PE inner bags
25 kg PP bags
25 kg kraft bags
25 kg drums
Customized packaging
Packaging can be adjusted according to customer requirements and transportation conditions.
Because Zinc Chloride is hygroscopic, moisture-resistant packaging and proper sealing are particularly important.
Zinc Chloride should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area.
Keep containers tightly closed and protect the product from moisture and humidity.
Avoid direct contact with the product and follow the handling, storage and personal protective equipment recommendations provided in the current SDS.
Please always refer to the latest SDS and product specification before handling or using Zinc Chloride.
