Zinc Metal Shots (Zn, Purity: 99.9%, Size : 2-5 mm)

Zinc Metal Shots

Applications:

Galvanization:

Corrosion Protection: Zinc metal shots are used in the hot-dip galvanization process, where they are melted and applied as a protective coating to steel and iron to prevent rust and corrosion. The metal shots are melted to form a zinc coating that provides long-lasting protection.

Alloys:

Die Casting Alloys: Zn are used in the production of die-casting alloys, such as Zamak (a family of zinc alloys). These alloys are used to create complex and precise components for automotive, electronics, and consumer products.

Brass Production: Zn are also used in the manufacturing of brass by alloying with copper to create a variety of brass products used in plumbing fittings, musical instruments, and decorative items.

Batteries:

Battery Manufacturing: Zn are used in the production of batteries, particularly in alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries. They serve as the anode material and contribute to the battery’s overall performance.

Chemical Reactions:

Reduction Reactions: In laboratories and industrial settings, zinc metal shots are used as a reducing agent in chemical reactions. They can help facilitate various chemical processes and syntheses.

Die Casting:

Metal Casting: The small, uniform size of zinc metal shots makes them ideal for die casting processes, where they are melted and injected into molds to create detailed parts used in various applications.

Soldering and Brazing:

Soldering: Zn can be used in soldering applications, particularly in soldering alloys where zinc is combined with other metals to create solder materials for electronic and plumbing applications.

Brazing: They can also be used in brazing processes to join metal parts together, especially when a controlled, precise application is needed.

Production of Zinc Oxide:

Oxide Production: Zn can be oxidized to produce zinc oxide, a versatile material used in paints, ceramics, rubber, and pharmaceuticals.

Catalysts:

Catalysis: Zinc metal shots can be used in certain catalytic processes. They serve as catalysts in various chemical reactions, aiding in the production of chemicals and materials.

Soil and Agriculture:

Soil Supplements: Zinc is an essential nutrient for plants. Zinc metal shots can be used to produce zinc supplements for soil, addressing zinc deficiencies and promoting healthy plant growth.

Environmental and Water Treatment:

Water Purification: Zinc can be used in water treatment processes to remove contaminants or to facilitate specific purification methods.
