Introduction

• Zinc is a chemical element with symbol Zn.
• Zinc is first element in group 12 of periodic
  table.
• Zinc is 24th most abundant element in Earths
  crust.

Physical Properties

• Zinc is a bluish-white, lustrous metal.
• Zinc has a hexagonal crystal structure.
• Zinc is a fair conductor of electricity.

Uses Of Zinc

• CHEMICAL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
• PAINTS COATINGS
• COSMETICS
• CASTING
• BATTERIES

CHEMICAL PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

• To form various chemicals, the manufacturers use
  Zinc Phosphide with various other compounds. They
  also refine Zinc at the time of manufacturing
  through electrolytic process. They apply zinc for
  nitrobenzene production and as catalyst and
  polymerizing element. Thus, Zinc Dust plays an
  important role in manufacturing drugs.

PAINTS COATINGS

• Zinc Dust can prevent steel surfaces from
  rusting.
• Zinc Dust can provide a heavy-duty coating for
  large-scale structures such as offshore oil rigs,
  sea containers and other marine equipment.
• Zinc Powder  can also be used on bridges.
• Coating that has zinc powder works best for the
  protection of any steel elements from rust
  issues.

COSMETICS

• Zinc Powder can be found in cosmetics products,
  including talcum and face powders.
• Two forms of zinc powder may be used zinc oxide,
  which can provide UVA protection and mask pores
  and blemishes and zinc stearate, which has
  adhering properties that enable the powder to
  stick to the skin.

8
CASTING

• Zinc alloys may be used for casting dies,
  permanent molds, plaster molds and shell molds.
• Zinc can be used for creating mixed-metal alloys
  for foundries.

9
BATTERIES

• The chemical potential energy in the alkaline
  batteries for pumping electrical charges between
  the terminals is due to Zinc Dust. The Dust burns
  itself up for this purpose and the battery dies
  when little dust is left.
