Zinc Dust is a fine metallic powder produced through the distillation of high-purity zinc, available in Industrial Grade and Protective Coating Grade. It is characterized by its gray, metallic appearance and high reactive surface area.

The product typically features a Zinc Content of 98%, making it the primary component in zinc-rich anti-corrosion primers. Its controlled Particle Size Distribution ensures high-density packing in coatings for superior cathodic protection.

In the chemical and metallurgical industries, it acts as a powerful Reducing Agent for the purification of solutions and the precipitation of metals. It is a critical material for the Galvanizing Industry and battery technologies.

Zinc Dust

  • Anti-Corrosive Coatings: Key pigment in zinc-rich paints and primers used to protect infrastructure and marine vessels from rust.
  • Chemical Production: Used as a reducing agent in the synthesis of various organic chemicals and the purification of zinc solutions.
  • Gold Recovery: Essential reagent in the Merrill-Crowe process for the precipitation of gold and silver from cyanide leach solutions.

Classified as Water-Reactive and Aquatic Chronic 1. May ignite spontaneously in air; use Class D Fire Extinguisher and Nitrile Gloves.
