Description and Uses

Zinc acetate (chemical formula: Zn(O2CCH3)2) is a kind of salt commonly existing in the dihydrate form. It appears as colorless solid. It is produced through the reaction between zinc oxide with acetate acid. Given that zinc is an essential element for growth and development of human body, zinc acetate can be used as a dietary supplement for the treatment of zinc deficiency. It plays an important role for the synthesis of cholesterol, protein, and fats. It can also be used as an astringent, styptic and emetic. In industry, it has various kinds of applications including wood preservation, manufacturing of other zinc salts as well as ethylene acetate, being used as a dye mordant, and analytical reagent.

Zinc acetate anhydrous is used in the synthesis of layered Zn-arylphosphonates with potential application in sorption, ion exchange or catalysis. It is utilized in the ultrasonic preparation of zinc sulfide nanoparticles coated on silica particles. It is administered orally or parenterally as a nutritional supplement. It finds an application in the field of industries such as wood preservation, manufacturing other zinc salts, polymers, manufacture of ethylene acetate, as a dye mordant, and analytical reagent. It also acts as a plating inhibitor on primary water piping.
