 Zinc Powder Extra Pure is a high-purity, finely divided form of elemental zinc, appearing as a gray to bluish-gray metallic powder. It is widely used in chemical laboratories, metallurgical operations, and industrial formulations for its strong reducing properties, electrical conductivity, and reactivity with acids to release hydrogen gas. In analytical chemistry, it serves as a critical reagent in redox titrations and hydrogen-generating reactions, and plays a key role in electroplating studies and corrosion analysis.
In industry, Zinc Powder is essential in the production of galvanic coatings, batteries, specialty paints, and pyrotechnic mixtures. Its high surface area makes it particularly reactive, which enhances its utility in hydrogenation, alloy production, and wastewater treatment via cementation. Due to its flammable dust nature and tendency to react with acids and oxidizers, strict precautions are needed during storage and handling. Zinc Powder Extra Pure is especially valued for applications that demand consistent purity, high reactivity, and compliance with laboratory-grade specifications.
