Zinc dust , 500gm

Some of the most common uses of zinc dust include:

• Corrosion protection: Zinc dust is used to protect metals from corrosion. It does this by forming a protective layer of zinc oxide on the surface of the metal. This layer of zinc oxide is sacrificial, meaning that it will corrode instead of the underlying metal.
• Paints and coatings: Zinc dust is added to paints and coatings to improve their durability and weather resistance. It also helps to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
• Rubber and plastics: Zinc dust is used in the production of rubber and plastics to improve their strength and durability. It also helps to prevent the plastics from yellowing.
• Agriculture: Zinc dust is used as a fertilizer to improve the growth of plants. It is also used to control pests and diseases.
• Fireworks: Zinc dust is used in the production of fireworks to create a bright white light.
• Batteries: Zinc dust is used in the production of batteries to help store energy.
