Overview
Zinc chloride is used a flux for the soldering process. It is also used in the manufacture of magnesia cement, which is used as an active ingredient for dental fillings and mouthwashes. 4. Printing and Textile industry - Around 64% zinc chloride in water is used to dissolve silk, cellulose and starch.
Technical specifications
Applications
Zinc chloride is used in dry cells as an electrolyte. Other Uses - It is used as a condensing agent, disinfecting purposes, dehydrating agent, wood preservative, deodorant, and disinfectant. A mixture of zinc oxide and hexachloroethane can be used in smoke grenades.
Dosage and directions
The purification of anhydrous zinc chloride can be done through sublimation with hydrogen chloride gas, followed by the subsequent heating of the sublimate to around 400 °C with dry nitrogen gas. Zinc chloride can also be purified by treating it with thionyl chloride.
Characteristics and notes
Dilute aqueous zinc chloride was used as a disinfectant under the name "Burnett's Disinfecting Fluid". From 1839 Sir William Burnett promoted its use as a disinfectant as well as a wood preservative.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.

Hazardous combustion products |
When heated to decomposition, it emits toxic fumes of Hydrochloric Acid, and Zinc Oxide. |
| Protective Equipment | Use personal protective equipment. |
| Special protective equipment for firefighters | Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing. |
| Further information | Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. |
| Spillage |
Corrosive solid. Stop leak if without risk. Do not get water inside container. Do not touch spilled material. Use water spray to reduce vapors. Prevent entry into sewers, basements or confined areas; dike if needed. Call for assistance on disposal. Be careful that the product is not present at a concentration level above TLV. Check TLV on the MSDS and with local authorities. |
| Personal Protection | Use personal protective equipment. Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid breathing dust. For personal protection see section 8. |
| Enviromental Precaution | Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. |
