Zinc Acetate
Zinc Acetate (Zn(CH3COO)2) is a high-purity metal carboxylate manufactured via the controlled reaction of high-purity zinc raw materials with glacial acetic acid, followed by multi-stage crystallization and centrifugal separation. It serves as an active pharmaceutical intermediate, nutritional supplement component, and industrial polymerization catalyst. Available in both Anhydrous (Zn(CH3COO)2) and Dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2 · 2H2O) crystalline forms to meet strict formulation tolerances.

Applications
Pharmaceutical Formulations: Active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate used in oral treatments for Wilson's disease and zinc supplementation.
Polymer Catalysts: Esterification and transesterification catalyst utilized in polyester and synthetic fiber synthesis.
Chemical Synthesis: Precursor for zinc-based nano-powders, specialty chemicals, and advanced material surface treatments.
Industrial Processing: Mordant in textile dyeing, wood preservation formulations, and electroplating bath additives.
Product Grades & Options
Pharmaceutical Grade (USP / BP / EP): Produced under strict GMP alignment, featuring tightly controlled trace heavy metals for clinical and oral applications.
Technical / Industrial Grade: Optimized for chemical synthesis and polymer catalysis, balancing high purity with economic efficiency for bulk operations.
Particle Size Customization: Available in standard crystalline form or mechanically micronized powders tailored for automated feeding and rapid dissolution systems.
Quality Control & Manufacturing Capabilities
Our production facility operates under ISO 9001 quality management systems, integrating in-house analytical laboratories for strict lot-by-lot release testing.
Testing Instrumentation: Batch compliance is verified using ICP-OES (trace elemental analysis), automated potentiometric titrators, and Karl Fischer moisture analyzers.
Lot Traceability: End-to-end documentation tracking from raw material intake (high-purity zinc ingots and glacial acetic acid) to final packaged goods.
Documentation Package: Each commercial shipment is dispatched with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Packaging & Storage
Packaging Options:
25 kg fiber drums with dual polyethylene inner liners.
25 kg multi-wall moisture-barrier kraft paper bags.
Bulk metric ton bags (500 kg - 1000 kg) for industrial manufacturing lines.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. Keep containers hermetically sealed to prevent moisture pick-up and caking.
FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Anhydrous and Dihydrate Zinc Acetate?
A: The dihydrate form (2H2O) contains crystal water molecules and remains stable under normal ambient storage. The anhydrous form is engineered for moisture-sensitive organic synthesis and dry-blend formulations where water introduction must be eliminated.
Q: Does your product comply with USP and EP monographs?
A: Yes. Our pharmaceutical grade complies with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) specifications, with heavy metal limits verified via ICP-OES.
Q: What is the standard Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
A: Standard commercial MOQ is 1 pallet (500 kg to 1 metric ton depending on packaging). Laboratory evaluation samples (500g - 1kg) are available upon request.
Q: Can you adjust the particle size distribution for our process?
A: Yes. We offer mechanical milling and precision sieving to meet specific particle size requirements, preventing dusting or aggregation issues in your production line.
Q: What is the standard lead time for order fulfillment?
A: In-stock standard grades ship within 7 to 10 business days. Custom particle size specifications or scheduled blanket orders typically require a 3 to 4 weeks production window.
Q: What export compliance documents are provided?
A: Standard shipping documentation includes a Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, batch-specific COA, and SDS. REACH compliance statements and country of origin certificates are available upon request.
