 Zinc Hydroxide Extra Pure is a high-purity, white, odorless powder used extensively in laboratory applications involving zinc chemistry. It acts as a key reagent in qualitative and quantitative analyses and the synthesis of zinc compounds. Insoluble in water but soluble in acids, it plays an important role in precipitation and buffering reactions. The Extra Pure grade ensures minimal impurities for sensitive experimental work. Zinc Hydroxide is also studied in pharmaceutical and environmental research for its bioactivity and water treatment potential. It requires careful handling to avoid dust inhalation and moisture exposure, and is stable under standard laboratory storage conditions.
