Basic Information
Product Name: Zinc Acetate
Molecular Formula: Anhydrous: C4H6O4Zn, Dihydrate: C4H6O4Zn⋅2H2O
Molecular Weight: Anhydrous: 183.48 g/mol, Dihydrate: 219.51 g/mol
CAS Number: 557-34-6
Appearance: White crystalline solid; commonly appears as shiny hexagonal scales or plate-like crystals with a faint acetic acid odor.
Melting Point:Anhydrous: 83-86°C, Dihydrate: Loses crystalline water at 100°C, decomposes at 237°C.
Boiling Point: 908°C (decomposes).
Density: 1.84 g/mL (25°C).
Solubility: Soluble in water, ethanol, dilute mineral acids, and alkaline solutions; slightly soluble in methanol.
Stability: Stable under normal conditions but decomposes into acetic acid and zinc oxide at high temperatures. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air), prone to deterioration after deliquescence.
Applications
Industrial Field
Precursor for Zinc Compounds: Used to synthesize zinc oxides, zinc alkoxides, and other zinc-based materials.
Textile Mordant: Enhances dye fixation in fabric printing and dyeing.
Wood Preservative: Inhibits microbial growth to protect wood from decay.
Ceramic Glazes: Improves glaze properties (e.g., color, adhesion, and thermal stability).
Pharmaceuticals
Zinc Supplement: Oral or topical administration to treat zinc deficiency (e.g., in diet or skin disorders).
Antimicrobial Agent: Used in creams or lotions for antibacterial effects (e.g., acne treatments).
Medical Research: Induces metallothionein in intestinal epithelial cells and inhibits copper uptake in certain therapies.
Food Industry
Nutritional Fortifier: Adds zinc to cereals, dairy products, and dietary supplements.
Acidulant & Preservative: Provides a mild sour taste and extends shelf life in processed foods (e.g., sauces, dressings).
Other Applications
Cosmetics: Formulates oil-control agents, sunscreens, and antibacterial additives (e.g., in deodorants).
Electronics: Used in capacitors, zinc-air batteries, and semiconductor manufacturing.
Coatings: Enhances corrosion resistance in anti-rust paints and primers.
Packaging and Storage
Packaging: Typically packed in 25 kg laminated plastic woven bags with inner PE liners to prevent moisture.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Avoid mixing with oxidizing agents or strong bases.
Zinc acetate is a versatile zinc salt valued for its solubility, stability, and broad applications in industry, healthcare, and daily products. Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage to maintain quality.
