    Properties of Zinc Sulfates

    Zinc Sulfate is an inorganic salt with the formula ZnSO₄, and it often exists in hydrated forms such as the heptahydrate ZnSO₄·7H₂O (goslarite).
    It consists of Zinc cations (Zn²⁺) and Sulfate anions (SO₄²⁻). In its pure, anhydrous form, it appears as a white or colorless crystalline solid;
    hydrated forms are also colorless to white. The compound is odorless. Zinc Sulfate is soluble in water.

    FAQ on Zinc Sulfate

    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 your Zinc Sulfates produced?

    They are manufactured at our production facilities in Germany.


    What is special about your products?

    • High-purity zinc Sulfates with controlled hydration state
    • Tailored zinc levels and particle design for specific applications
    • Reliable dissolution behavior and stable performance
    • German production with full quality control and traceability
    • Compliance with EU REACH and availability of food-contact grades where applicable


    What do Zinc Sulfates smell like?

    They are odorless under standard conditions.


    Food contact and special applications

    Some grades may qualify for food-contact use, depending on regulatory conditions. We provide guidance and documentation for those applications.


    What if the product I need isn’t listed?

    If your required specification - hydration state, purity, zinc concentration, particle size, or form - is not listed, contact us. We will work with you to find or develop the appropriate grade.
