Zinc Chloride (ZnCl₂) is a white crystalline chemical compound that is tasteless, highly soluble in water, and strongly hygroscopic in nature. It is widely used in multiple industrial applications due to its reactive and dehydrating properties.
It is extensively used in organic synthesis as a dehydrating agent and condensation catalyst. It also plays an important role in wood preservation, textile processing, and chemical manufacturing.
Zinc Chloride is also used in the production of batteries, electroplating processes, paper industry, activated carbon preparation, and pharmaceutical applications. Its versatility makes it an important industrial chemical.
The compound exists in multiple hydrated crystalline forms and must be stored in moisture-free conditions as it readily absorbs water from the atmosphere and may deliquesce if exposed to humidity.
