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. It functions as a corrosion inhibitor, coagulant, and source of reactive zinc across a range of industrial processes.

In agriculture, it is used as a foliar micronutrient source and in fertilizer blends where fast zinc availability is required for crop uptake. Water treatment operations apply it as a coagulation aid and corrosion inhibitor in distribution systems.

In cooling water circuits, it provides essential protection against oxidative damage. In mining and metals processing, it supports surface treatment and galvanizing operations where controlled zinc deposition is needed for high-quality finishes.

Construction chemistry formulators incorporate it into concrete admixtures and cementitious coatings to inhibit corrosion of embedded steel reinforcement. This ensures the long-term structural integrity of various infrastructure projects.

Zinc nitrate hexahydrate is supplied as white crystalline granules or prills, with liquid solution grades also available for direct dosing applications. These formats allow for flexible integration into existing manufacturing workflows.

Standard supply grades include technical and agricultural quality, with specifications typically aligned to purity thresholds of 98% or higher. This ensures consistent performance across demanding industrial and chemical synthesis applications.

Packaging ranges from 25 kg bags and drums to bulk intermediate bulk containers depending on application volume. Our logistics network ensures reliable delivery of high-purity chemical precursors to meet your specific production schedules.
