•  Bruning issue of blue green flame, accompanied by combustion of zinc oxide.

 Usage of Zinc Powder:

•  Zinc powder is the main raw materials of paint,
•  Coating and chemical products such as sodium zincate, zinc oxide as well as the reducing agent in organic synthesis.
•  Besides, zinc powder is widely used in metallurgical industry (electrolytic zinc), battery industry as well as pesticide, feed, dyestuff and manufacturing industry.
