Zinc Chloride is known to have a wide range of laboratory applications as well as the following;

  • As a metallurgical flux
  • In organic synthesis

  • Smoke grenades
  • Fingerprint detection
  • Disinfectant

What is Zinc Chloride? It is an inorganic compound, with the chemical formula ZnCl2, typically found as white or colourless, crystalline solids, and is highly soluble in water. It is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air, and can even be deliquescent, meaning it absorbs enough moisture to dissolve in the absorbed water.

Consistent Quality: We provide only high-quality Zinc Chloride, ensuring reliable and consistent performance in industrial, research, and manufacturing applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged in non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure safe handling and preserve product quality during transport.
