Catalyst: In organic synthesis, zinc iodide is an excellent catalyst for the conversion of methanol to tripentane and the synthesis of hexamethylbenzene, which can accelerate the progress of these chemical reactions and improve the reaction efficiency and product selectivity.
In industrial flaw detection: In industrial radiology, zinc iodide is used as X-ray opaque penetrant, which can enhance the contrast of X-ray to the internal damage and intact part of the material, and help detect the defects and structural problems inside the material, which is of great significance for the non-destructive testing of metal materials, composite materials, and so on.
Staining agent for electron microscope: Combined with osmium tetroxide, zinc iodide can be used as a staining agent for electron microscope, which can enhance the contrast and visibility of biological samples or materials under the electron microscope, and help researchers to observe and analyze the microstructure more clearly.
Battery field: It can be used as electrolyte in aqueous zinc-halogen rechargeable batteries, which plays the role of transporting ions during the charging and discharging process of the batteries, and helps to improve the performance and cycle life of the batteries.
Vacuum double-layer bags or bottles, capacity according to customer requirements, minimum packaging unit 10g.
Each batch of products will be tested for particle size and composition, and the inspection report will be attached with the shipment, and other tests can be done according to customer’s requirements, and the inspection report will be attached with the shipment.
Zinc Iodide Powder should be stored in sealed containers in a cool, dry and light-proof environment to avoid deliquescence, oxidation and change of properties due to light.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
