    Zinc Sulfate, anhydrous in Electroplating Baths

    Lohtragon® O60 serves as a reliable source of zinc ions for depositing protective or decorative zinc coatings on metal surfaces. Its anhydrous form ensures stable, predictable zinc concentrations, preventing dilution of carefully balanced electrolyte solutions and improving plating quality and consistency.

    Key benefits of anhydrous Zinc Sulfate in Electroplating:

    • Ensures precise, stable zinc concentrations in plating baths
    • Prevents unwanted dilution of electrolyte solutions
    • Improves coating quality and consistency in electroplating processes

    Zinc Sulfate, anhydrous in Dental Formulations

    Lohtragon® O60 based on high-purity anhydrous Zinc Sulfate offers multiple functional advantages in dental cement formulations. It acts as an efficient set accelerator, promoting quicker hardening of cement compositions for improved workflow in dental procedures. Its ability to absorb water upon application supports optimal handling characteristics and consistency. The astringent properties of Zinc Sulfate help contract tissues and reduce minor bleeding, a valuable benefit when temporary cements come into contact with gingival tissues during placement. The water solubility of Zinc Sulfate ensures that temporary cements can be removed easily when necessary. Lohtragon® O60 is produced with controlled impurity and low heavy metal content, ensuring safe and reliable formulations. Extensive documentation is available to support regulatory compliance.

    Key benefits of anhydrous Zinc Sulfate in Dental Applications:

    • Efficient set accelerator, enabling quicker hardening of dental cements for improved procedural efficiency
    • Absorbs water during application, helping achieve desired cement texture and workability
    • Provides astringent properties that contract tissues and reduce minor bleeding
    • Ease of Cement Removal: High water solubility facilitates simple and clean removal of temporary cement when needed

    Zinc Sulfate, anhydrous in Catalyst Manufacturing

    Acting as a precursor, Lohtragon® O60 supports producing zinc-based catalysts used in various chemical processes, including organic synthesis and polymerization reactions. The anhydrous form provides precise zinc dosing and avoids introducing moisture that could interfere with catalyst preparation or storage.

    Key benefits of anhydrous Zinc Sulfate in Chemical Synthesis:

    • Serves as a precursor for producing zinc-based catalysts
    • Enables precise zinc dosing for reliable catalyst synthesis
    • Anhydrous form prevents moisture interference during preparation and storage

    Anhydrous Zinc Sulfate as Galvanizing Fluxes

    Lohtragon® O60 is effectively used in flux formulations to clean and activate steel surfaces before galvanizing, enhancing the adhesion and uniformity of zinc coatings. The absence of water minimizes unwanted reactions and improves the stability of dry flux mixtures.

    Key benefits of anhydrous Zinc Sulfate in Galvanization:

    • Cleans and activates steel surfaces for better galvanizing results
    • Enhances adhesion and uniformity of zinc coatings
    • Water-free form prevents unwanted reactions and improves dry flux stability

    Frequently asked questions about this product

    What are Zinc Sulfates?

    Zinc Sulfates are salts of sulphuric acid and zinc, typically found in hydrated forms such as ZnSO₄·7H₂O (heptahydrate). The anhydrous form is a white or colorless crystalline solid; hydrated forms are also colorless. They are odorless and dissolve readily in water.

    What are Zinc Sulfates used for and why?

    • Chemical synthesis & catalysis: used as zinc precursors and intermediates for producing zinc oxide, zinc stearate, or other zinc compounds
    • Electroplating / surface treatment: supply Zn²⁺ ions in plating baths for protective coatings on metal parts
    • Textiles / dyeing: act as a mordant to fix dyes on fibers, enhancing color fastness and uniform uptake
    • Agriculture / micronutrient fertilization: correct zinc deficiencies in soils or via foliar application, improving plant growth and yield
    • Water treatment: used as a coagulant or to precipitate impurities and control algal growth in water systems
    • Battery / energy storage research: zinc Sulfate is a common choice for aqueous electrolyte in zinc-ion batteries

    Where are our Zinc Sulfates produced?

    They are manufactured at our production facilities in Germany.

    What is special about our Zinc Sulfates?
