Zinc sulfate monohydrate

Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate (CAS 7446-19-7) is an inorganic zinc salt supplied as a white, free-flowing powder, also referenced as Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate, Zinc Sulfate mono, or Zinc Sulfate-1-Hydrate. It carries EC number 616-096-8 and HS code 28332930. No E-code designation applies to this grade.

In water treatment, it acts as a coagulation aid and algaecide by releasing zinc ions that disrupt microbial cell membranes. Personal care and pharmaceutical formulators use it as an antimicrobial preservative and skin-conditioning humectant, where its hygroscopic character supports moisture retention in topical preparations. In agriculture, it corrects zinc deficiency in soils and animal feed rations.

Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate is available in technical, feed-grade, and Ph.Eur.-compliant pharmaceutical grades, with FCC-grade material suitable for food and nutrition applications. It is registered under REACH and subject to standard GHS classification requirements. Typical packaging includes 25 kg bags and bulk quantities on request.
