Zinc (Zn)
Zinc is a bluish-white, lustrous metal with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is known for its ability to resist corrosion and its essential role in biological systems.
Did You Know? Zinc is the fourth most common metal in use, trailing only iron, aluminum, and copper in annual production.
Purity and Supply:
Our zinc ore meets the strictest industrial standards.
We are able to supply any quantity needed.
Common Applications:
GalvanizationUsed to coat iron and steel to prevent rusting.
Alloys:Key component in brass (with copper) and other alloys.
Batteries:Used in zinc-carbon and zinc-air batteries.
Health:Essential for human health, used in dietary supplements and medicines.
Associated Minerals:
Zinc is often found with minerals such as sphalerite (zinc blende), smithsonite, and hemimorphite.
Purity:
Our zinc is free from impurities such as:
Iron: Affects the corrosion resistance.Lead: Can affect the mechanical properties.
Cadmium: Alters the toxicity and environmental impact.
Copper: Can impact the electrical properties.
