Zinc

Zinc (CAS 7440-66-6) is a base metal supplied in refined form for industrial processing, alloying, and chemical synthesis. It serves as the foundational raw material for a broad range of downstream zinc compounds.

These coatings and alloys are used across heavy industry and manufacturing. In galvanizing, zinc is applied as a protective coating on steel structures, automotive components, and construction materials to prevent corrosion.

This ensures an extended service life for critical infrastructure. Brass and die-casting alloys consume significant zinc volumes in automotive and electronics manufacturing, where dimensional precision and conductivity are critical.

Chemical producers use refined zinc as a feedstock for synthesizing zinc oxide, zinc sulfate, and other compounds. These are used in agriculture, rubber vulcanization, and water treatment processes.

In electroplating and metalworking, zinc anodes and zinc-based lubricant additives provide both surface protection and process stability. Zinc is commercially available as ingots, slabs, granules, powder, and dust.

Purity grades range from standard SHG (Special High Grade, 99.995%) to high-grade and prime western grades. Zinc powder and dust are supplied in technical and refined grades tailored for chemical synthesis.

These are also used for pigment production and metallurgical applications. Packaging typically ranges from bulk shipments to drummed or bagged formats depending on form and end-use specification.
