Overview of Zinc Dust
Zinc Dust is a fine metallic powder of zinc (Zn) widely used in industrial, chemical, and metallurgical applications. It is valued for its high reactivity, corrosion resistance, and reducing properties, making it an essential raw material in many manufacturing and chemical processes. Zinc Dust appears as a greyish powder and is highly versatile for professional industrial use.
In industrial applications, Zinc Dust is used in galvanisation, corrosion protection coatings, chemical reactions, batteries, and metallurgy. It is often combined with other industrial raw materials available on ChemicalBull, such as Iron Powder, Tin Powder, Alumina Powder, Magnesium Sulphate, and Ferrous Sulphate Monohydrate, allowing manufacturers to develop high-performance coatings, alloys, and chemical formulations.
