Niacet Zinc Acetate Dihydrate Crystal Pharma

CAS Number
5970-45-6
EC Number
611-865-4
Chemical Name
Zinc Acetate Dihydrate

Zinc Acetate is used as a catalyst in the production of polyesters, polyamides, polyether and vinyl acetate, in the in manufacture of acrylic emulsions, phenolic foam for thermal insulation, and alkyds. Niacet’s acetates, such as zinc acetate are used in the production of insulin. Zinc Acetate dihydrate is available as fine white crystals which are easily soluble in water.
