 Zinc Granules Extra Pure is a high-purity elemental zinc in granular form widely used in laboratories and research for chemical synthesis, analytical standards, and materials science. Its granular form allows for easy handling and enhanced surface area in reactions, especially in redox and electrochemical applications. The Extra Pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for sensitive analytical, metallurgical, and pharmaceutical research. It is stable under normal conditions but should be stored away from acids and oxidizing agents to avoid hazardous reactions such as hydrogen gas evolution.
