ZINC (metal) DUST 95% Extra Pure (fine powder ) - 500 gm

Description

Zinc dust powder by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Zinc is an element, abundantly found in the Earths crust. It is a bluish-white, lustrous, diamagnetic metal. Compared to other metals, it has a relatively low melting and boiling point. Zinc metal is produced using extractive metallurgy. Zinc burns in air producing a bright, bluish-green flame, liberating fumes of zinc oxide. The compound is stable under general conditions, however, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. CAS No.: 7440-66-6 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Atomic formula: Zn Molecular formula: 65.39 Assay: Minimum 95 % 250-300 mesh size powderZinc has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is used in galvanizing applications, producing brass and bronze among other alloys. Zinc finds applications as an anti-corrosion agent and is used in cathodic protection. It is also used in the anodes of batteries. Zinc oxide is widely used as a white pigment in paints and as a catalyst to manufacture rubber. Fire retardants usually contain zinc chloride. Zinc sulphate finds applications in dyes and pigments. Zinc powder is often used as a propellant in model rockets. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
