Product Overview & Quality

Product Name: Zinc acetate dihydrate
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-581)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99.5 percent or higher. Manufactured under strict Kemaus laboratory quality control protocols to ensure exceptionally low trace levels of chlorides, sulfates, and foreign heavy metals, delivering maximum analytical reliability.
Physical Properties: Colorless or white crystalline plates/flakes with a faint, characteristic acetic acid (vinegar-like) odor.
Solubility: Highly soluble in water; soluble in alcohol. Yields a mildly acidic aqueous solution.
Key Use: Widely utilized as an analytical reagent for chemical testing and precipitation assays in quantitative chemistry. Commonly used as a high-purity precursor for synthesizing zinc-based compounds and chemical derivatives, or fabricating zinc oxide nanoparticles in materials science research. Functions as an effective catalyst in organic synthesis and polymer production, and applied as a trace mineral supplement in formulating specialized biological culture media.

Safety & Hazards (Critical)

Classification: Harmful if swallowed. Causes serious eye damage.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact causes severe irritation, sharp stinging, and potential corneal injury. Ingestion leads to acute gastrointestinal discomfort, including nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Inhalation of fine dust causes upper respiratory tract irritation.
Environmental Hazards: Very toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects. Strict hazardous chemical disposal protocols apply. Do not discharge into general sewers.
First Aid Measures: Immediately flush affected eyes or skin with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. If swallowed, rinse mouth thoroughly with water and seek immediate medical attention.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Slightly Efflorescent and Hygroscopic (can lose crystalline water in dry, warm air or absorb ambient moisture). Must be stored in the original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated dedicated chemical space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust respirator. Minimize dust generation during handling.
