For a long time, Zinc Salts were far less popular than the shiny, bright silvery metal on which they are based. When Zinc first became known in our society back in the 17th century as an alloying metal for gold and silver-colored metal alloys, its name was derived from the German word "Zinken" meaning "prongs", because of the pointed, sometimes star-shaped polygons into which it crystallizes. But Zinc is an exceptionally versatile element in terms of its organic and inorganic compounds.
In the human body, Zinc is involved in more than 300 different enzymatic reactions. It is involved in tasks as diverse as breaking down alcohol, vision and spermatogenesis. The body can overcome colds much quicker if it has an adequate intake of Zinc Salts. Therefore, a sufficient and above all continuous supply of Zinc is indispensable, as Zinc can only be stored in the organism to a limited extent.
That is why many nutritional supplements contain a Zinc Salt. The demand for food and beverages fortified with Zinc is on the rise, as consumers become increasingly health-aware. As a manufacturer with a large and diverse portfolio of Zinc Salts, we can respond to this demand. We offer suitable Zinc compounds in user-friendly formats, for both liquid or solid applications, which include shots and sachets, for example.
Our Zinc Salts are used in pharmaceutical applications such as infusion for parenteral nutrition or tablets for treatment of Zinc deficiency.
We offer numerous Zinc Salts in different grades for this application field in accordance with severeal pharmacopoeias and also offer low in endotoxin grades.
For applications in cosmetics or technical processes, we offer a broad range of Zinc Salts. Their antimicrobial characteristics are put to use in the cosmetics industry, in oral hygiene and skincare products.
In industrial applications, for example, the glass corrosion is inhibited by adding Zinc Salts to dishwasher detergents. Solid lubricant properties of specific Zinc compounds are used to prevent cold welding of detachable metal joints. In addition, Zinc Salts are applied as transesterification catalyst in polyester production, a high purity Zinc metal source for chemical synthesis and in electroplating processes.
Discover more exciting industrial applications of our zinc range in the product section of our industrial brand Lohtragon®.
We are of course happy to assist our customers by providing the necessary advice and help with the development of concepts and processes.
