Zinc nitrate hexahydrate

Zinc nitrate hexahydrate (CAS 10196-18-6) is a water-soluble zinc salt supplying both zinc and nitrate ions in a single, readily dissolved form.

Where is Zinc nitrate hexahydrate used?

• Agriculture: foliar micronutrient source and fertilizer blends for fast zinc availability in crop uptake
• Water treatment: coagulation aid and corrosion inhibitor in distribution systems
• Cooling water circuits: protection against oxidative damage
• Mining and metals processing: surface treatment and galvanizing with controlled zinc deposition
• Construction chemistry: concrete admixtures and cementitious coatings that inhibit corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement
• It functions as a corrosion inhibitor, coagulant, and source of reactive zinc.

Commercial specifications

• Purity thresholds of 98% or higher
• Packaging: 25 kg bags and drums to bulk intermediate bulk containers
