Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- ZnCl2
- Zink Klorida
- Butter of Zinc
Zinc chloride is supplied for industrial enquiries in Malaysia as an anhydrous, hygroscopic solid and as an aqueous solution. Buyers use ZnCl2 in metal-treatment fluxes, chemical manufacture and controlled process dosing, with the form selected against the plant method and specification.
Anhydrous zinc chloride is chosen where a dry, concentrated input is required for synthesis, catalyst systems or preparation of downstream formulations. Solution grade is easier to meter into tanks and flux baths, and the required concentration should be stated rather than assumed.
For hot-dip galvanising, zinc chloride is commonly used as a component of zinc ammonium chloride flux formulations that condition the steel surface before the zinc bath. It is also used in soldering and tinning fluxes, and as a Lewis acid catalyst or dehydrating agent in selected chemical processes.
Send the required form, grade, concentration or assay, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, delivery arrangements and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Zinc Chloride applications
Safety and handling
Keep anhydrous zinc chloride tightly closed and protected from moisture. Use compatible handling equipment and follow the safety data for the quoted form, concentration and grade.
Common questions about zinc chloride
Should I request anhydrous zinc chloride or zinc chloride solution?
Choose anhydrous material when the process needs a dry solid or close control of added water. Choose solution for pumped dosing or bath make-up, and state the required concentration because solution grades are not interchangeable by volume.
Which zinc chloride grade is used for hot-dip galvanising?
Zinc chloride is commonly used as part of zinc ammonium chloride flux systems before the zinc bath. Send the flux formulation, bath specification and required concentration so the quotation can identify an appropriate technical grade.
Can zinc chloride be used in soldering flux and chemical synthesis?
Zinc chloride is an active component in many soldering and tinning fluxes and a Lewis acid in selected synthesis reactions. Suitability depends on the formulation, process materials and impurity limits, so include those details with the enquiry.
What specification details should I include with an enquiry?
State whether the requirement is anhydrous solid or solution, then give the concentration or assay, relevant impurity limits, quantity, application and delivery location. A current specification sheet can be used as the basis for comparison.
What packing and documents are available for zinc chloride?
Packing and documentation depend on the selected form and quoted source. State the site handling preference and any required safety or specification documents, and availability will be confirmed with the quotation.
How is zinc chloride priced?
Price varies with solid or solution form, concentration, technical specification, quantity and delivery location. The quotation states the applicable price and validity period for the requirement submitted.
