Zinc Chloride

Product Code : SCL-LC-12201

The Zinc Chloride Lab Reagent is an inorganic zinc salt used in authorised chemistry, analytical, teaching and research laboratories for zinc salt studies, solution preparation and method-specific analytical work. It is suitable for trained laboratory users, supervised school labs, colleges, universities, analytical labs, distributors and procurement buyers requiring documented reagent supply.

Product Description

Zinc Chloride from Science Lab Supplies is positioned as a laboratory chemical for controlled institutional use. The supplied product name confirms zinc chloride as the chemical identity, but pack size, assay, grade, hydrate form, batch number, SDS and Certificate of Analysis must be verified before final catalogue publication.

Zinc chloride is also known as zinc dichloride or zinc(II) chloride. It is commonly represented as ZnCl₂ for the anhydrous form. Because zinc chloride is hygroscopic and corrosive, users should handle it with dry tools, suitable PPE, compatible containers and SDS-led controls.

Key Features

• Defined chemical identity: zinc chloride, ZnCl₂, 
• Zinc salt reagent: suitable for approved chemistry and analytical procedures where zinc chloride is specified.
• Hygroscopic behaviour: should be protected from moisture and opened only when required.
• Pack size to confirm: bottle quantity or net weight must be checked before publication.
• Grade to confirm: do not claim LR, AR, ACS or analytical grade without documentation.
• Corrosive-handling controls: zinc chloride can damage eyes, skin and mucous membranes.
• Documentation required: SDS, COA, batch number, grade and regulatory classification should be confirmed before supply.

How to Use the Zinc Chloride

1. Verify the label, CAS number, grade, batch number, pack size and expiry date before use.
2. Read the current Safety Data Sheet and institutional laboratory procedure.
3. Wear suitable PPE, including gloves, eye protection and a lab coat.
4. Use a clean, dry spatula or compatible transfer tool to dispense only the required quantity.
5. Dissolve or use the reagent only according to the approved laboratory method.
6. Avoid dust, mist, inhalation, ingestion, skin contact and eye contact.
7. Close the container immediately after dispensing because zinc chloride can absorb moisture.
8. Collect residues as zinc-containing laboratory waste according to local rules.

Safety note: Zinc Chloride Lab Reagent must be handled as a corrosive laboratory chemical. Do not use for food, medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, agricultural, soldering, galvanising or unauthorised industrial purposes unless grade and regulatory status are specifically verified.

Care & Maintenance

• Store in a tightly closed, clearly labelled container in a dry chemical-storage area.
• Protect from moisture, contamination, incompatible metals and strong bases.
• Use clean, dry tools to prevent caking, corrosion and cross-contamination.
• Do not use if the container is damaged, leaking, unlabelled, contaminated, wet, caked or beyond verified shelf life.
