Zinc sulfate (CAS 7733-02-0) is a water-soluble zinc salt. It is used as a zinc micronutrient in fertilizers and animal feeds, as an electrolyte in zinc electroplating, as a mordant in textile dyeing and printing, as a flotation reagent in ore processing, and as a wood and hide preservative.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is zinc sulfate used for?
Zinc sulfate (CAS 7733-02-0) is a water-soluble zinc salt used as a zinc micronutrient in fertilizers and animal feed, an electrolyte in zinc electroplating, a mordant in textile dyeing and printing, a flotation reagent in ore processing, and a wood and hide preservative.
What is the chemical formula for zinc sulfate?
Anhydrous zinc sulfate is ZnSO4 (CAS 7733-02-0). It is also commonly supplied as the monohydrate (ZnSO4·H2O) and heptahydrate (ZnSO4·7H2O), which differ in water of crystallization and zinc content per gram.
Is zinc sulfate water soluble?
Yes. Zinc sulfate is highly water soluble, which supports its use in liquid fertilizers, foliar sprays, plating baths, and flotation circuits where an aqueous zinc source is needed.
How does zinc sulfate ship under DOT?
Zinc sulfate is associated with UN 3077 for transport classification; the SDS specifies handling and packaging. RawSource provides the SDS and bulk quotes; confirm shipping requirements for your destination.
How is bulk zinc sulfate supplied and what does it cost?
RawSource supplies zinc sulfate as a bulk powder or crystal in industrial pack sizes with CoA available. Pricing depends on hydrate form, grade, and volume, so request a current bulk quote rather than a list price.
