Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
Zinc chloride is a highly soluble inorganic zinc salt with strong hygroscopic and Lewis acid properties. It is primarily used in pharmaceutical, dental, topical, antiseptic, and technical formulations, and selectively in nutraceutical applications under controlled dosage due to its high reactivity and potential gastrointestinal irritation.
From a manufacturing perspective, zinc chloride is valued for its excellent water solubility, making it suitable for solutions, syrups, topical liquids, mouthwashes, dental products, and reconstitution systems. However, it is highly hygroscopic and corrosive, requiring strict moisture control, compatible packaging materials, and careful excipient selection. Taste masking and buffering are essential when used in oral formulations. Zinc chloride is also widely used in chemical processing, synthesis, and as a catalyst or dehydrating agent.
