- Applications
- Zinc Acetate is used as a catalyst in the production of polyesters, polyamides, polyether and vinyl acetate, in the in manufacture of acrylic emulsions, phenolic foam for thermal insulation, and alkyds.
- Zinc Acetate can also be used as a PVC blowing agent, a wood preservative, in textile dyeing, as well as in the waterproofing of textiles, paper and leather.
- Amongst other pharmaceutical applications, Zinc Acetate is used in the production of antibiotics, insulin, creams and lotions and in mouth rinses.
- Niacet’s acetates are also used in various application such as in the production of penicillin as antibiotics, hormones, enzymes and oral cleanser.
- Penicillin is a natural substance produced by the micro-organism penicillium chrysogenum, which is related to the green mold commonly, found on fruit or jam. Our acetates like Ammonium Acetate and Potassium Acetate are used in the penicillin production process.
- In the application of oral cleansers Zinc Acetate is not only applied to combat oral malodor. It is also an effective component for retarding the formation of dental plaque. Dental plaque forms a film on teeth. It is a dense microbial layer formed as a product of microbial growth.
