Zinc hydroxide(Cat No.:M001992), represented chemically as Zn(OH)₂, is an inorganic compound appearing as a white amorphous powder. It is sparingly soluble in water but readily reacts with acids to form zinc salts and with alkalis to form zincates, which are more soluble. Zinc hydroxide is primarily used as a precursor in the production of zinc salts, as a catalyst in organic synthesis, and as a fire-retardant additive. Additionally, it finds applications in health care, particularly in skin protectants and antiseptic ointments due to its mild antiseptic and astringent properties.
