Zinc Powder
Zinc powder is utilized for many different purposes in various fields. It's mainly used in galvanizing as an anti-corrosion substance in steel; in die casting of precision components; in making brass; in making paints; in medicine and cosmetics; and as micro nutrients for animals, plants and humans. Apply dry chemical, sand or special powder extinguishing media. Zinc is relatively non-toxic and poses little immediate hazard to the health of emergency response personnel or to the environment in an emergency situation. Potential Health Effects: Zinc is essentially non-toxic to humans.
Zinc powders and dusts are essentially finely divided zinc metal. A distinction is often made whereby 'zinc dust' refers to the product made by condensation of zinc vapor and 'zinc powder' to the product of atomization of molten zinc. Zinc uses range from metal products to rubber and medicines. About three-fourths of zinc used is consumed as metal, mainly as a coating to protect iron and steel from corrosion (galvanized metal), as alloying metal to make bronze and brass, as zinc-based die casting alloy, and as rolled zinc. Use Zinc Powder To use zinc sulfate one can apply powder directly to moss areas. Manufacturers recommend that powder should be applied thoroughly - for example, up to three pounds for every 600 square feet. For spraying combine three pounds to five gallons of water and apply to 600 square feet.
