zinc dust Applications

 Zinc rich paints contain a high level (85%-92%) of zinc metal pigments which function as an active anti-corrosion component. This kind of paint creates a metallic zinc film that acts as a physical barrier, as well as providing cathodic protection for the underlying steel. 

 Zinc Dust is important in chemical reactions and is used in various kinds of organic reactions.

 In addition it is used as a reducing agent in the production of nitrobenzene, as a catalyst and polymerizing agent.

 Zinc Dust is used as a precipitant for many metals both to purify solutions containing metals such as copper, cadmium, gold and silver, and to reclaim these valuable minerals for further processing. 

Zinc Dust acts as a catalyst in the production of benzene and gasoline.

Zinc Dust is added to:

• Thread Compounds
• Anti-Seize Compounds
• Special Sealers

 Metal powders are added to friction formulations to change their properties and enhance high-temperature performance - as in automotive brake linings. Zinc Dust can improve high-temp performance. 

It is a process of providing a protective coating (zinc) over bare steel and  delivers both the solid protection of zinc and the smoothness and uniformity required for this type application. 

Due to its high reactivity and controlled particle size distribution, zinc dust is an important ingredient in:

• Explosives
• Fireworks
• Match Heads
• Smoke Compounds
• Soot removal agents
