Zinc Dust

• Zinc is a chemical element which is denoted by
  symbol Zn. Zinc is the 30th element on the
  periodic table, and has an atomic number of 30.
  Zinc has a mass number of 65.38 .
• Zinc dust is powdery metallic zinc usually
  containing zinc oxide in varying amounts that
  collects as a bluish gray powder during
  distillation of zinc and that is used as a
  reducing agent.

Physical Properties

• Zinc is a shiny bluish grey metal.
• When it has just been cut, zinc has a
  whitish-grey color. 
• Its melting point is 419.58 C 787.24 F.
• Its boiling point is 907.0 C 1,664.6 F.
• It forms alloys easily with other metals.

Chemical Properties

• Zinc is a reactive metal.
• It is about as reactive as aluminium and more
  reactive than most of the more common metals,
  such as iron, copper, nickel, and chrome.
• Zinc can react with acids, bases, and non-metals.
• A coating of zinc oxide and zinc carbonate forms
  on the surface of the zinc when it is in air.

Where is Zinc used?

• Zinc is used as a metal-
• Zinc is used in electrical batteries. It
  becomes oxidized and provides electrons for the
  battery to run.
• About 59 of zinc is used for corrosion prevent
  ion, which includes galvanizing. This is used to
  protect another metal, usually iron, from
  rusting.
• Zinc is used in alloys. Brass is the most
  common zinc alloy.
• Zinc can be used in the pipes of a pipe organ.

• Zinc is used as zinc compounds-
• About 1/4 of zinc is used to make zinc compounds.
• Zinc oxide can be used for sunscreen or
  paint pigment.
• Zinc chloride is used to preserve wood so it does
  not rot.
• Zinc sulfate is used in dyes and pigments.
• Zinc sulfide is used in fluorescent bulbs to
  convert the ultraviolet light to visible light.

Is Zinc Dust useful?

• Zinc Dust is very useful in todays world. As
  we have a big problem of rusting in metals and it
  can be solved by the use of Zinc Dust. Zinc Dust
  is a pure metal powder, which is used to protect
  the metal from corrosion. It is suitable for use
  in many formulations for the manufacture of zinc
  primers and shop primers.
