Product Introduction

Zinc sulfate monohydrate (ZnSO ₄· H ₂ O) is an important inorganic compound that is widely used in various fields such as agriculture, animal husbandry, industry, and medicine due to its high water solubility and good bioavailability.

Main application areas

In the field of agriculture: as an efficient zinc fertilizer

Supplementing with trace element zinc: Used to prevent and control physiological diseases caused by zinc deficiency in crops, such as rice "sitting", corn "white seedling disease", fruit tree leaf disease, etc. It can effectively promote chlorophyll synthesis, enhance photosynthesis, and improve yield and quality.

There are various application methods: it can be used through soil base application, topdressing, foliar spraying, seed soaking, or seed mixing. For example, foliar spraying is commonly used at a concentration of 0.1% -0.3%, and the spraying effect is significant during the seedling stage, jointing stage, or tillering stage.

Strong regional adaptability: especially suitable for zinc deficient soil areas in northwest and southwest China, such as Ningxia, Guizhou, Xizang, etc., which has become an important support for precision agriculture.

Animal husbandry: as a feed additive

Promoting animal health: Zinc is a component of various enzymes in the animal body, involved in protein metabolism, immune function, and reproductive processes. Adding zinc sulfate monohydrate can prevent problems such as incomplete keratinization of pig skin, delayed growth of cattle and sheep, and decreased egg production rate of laying hens.

Improving breeding efficiency: Adding according to national standards can significantly improve the growth performance and immunity of livestock and poultry, and is an indispensable source of zinc in modern feed industry.

Industrial sector: Chemical and Materials Manufacturing

Electroplating and metal treatment: used for cable galvanizing, electrolytic pure zinc production, as an anode or activator to improve metal corrosion resistance and surface quality.

Chemical raw materials: They are the basic raw materials for manufacturing zinc salts, lithopone, battery electrolytes, preservatives, and other products.

Other industrial applications: used for wood and leather preservation, production of artificial fibers (such as viscose fibers), printing and dyeing auxiliaries, ceramic glazes, and rubber industry.

In the fields of medicine and food

Nutritional fortifier: Food grade zinc sulfate monohydrate (purity ≥ 99%) is used as a zinc nutritional fortifier, added to food or health products to prevent and treat zinc deficiency.

Pharmaceutical raw materials: used for the preparation of oral zinc supplements, topical drugs, and cosmetics. Some materials mention that they can also be used as raw materials for sunscreen agents.

Environmental Protection and Special Applications

Mineral processing inhibitor: It can be used as an inhibitor for sphalerite in alkaline slurry for flotation separation.

Circulating water treatment: used in cooling water systems to inhibit microbial growth and corrosion.
