What are some uses for zinc hydroxide Zn(OH)2?
Answer:
The most common use of Zinc hydroxide is as a protective coating on metals. This forms on metalic Zinc in any moist atmosphere conditions. This is the protective layer on galvanized metals.
Zinc hydroxide is gelatinous and can be used as a mordant for some dyes. It is often made in solution by hydrolyzing Zinc sulfate in solution.
It is also used as an intermediate in the commercial production of pesticides and pigments.
It will react with strong bases to form Zincates.
In ointments or combined with Zinc oxide, it is used for skin lotions and cosmetics (to adjust pH). It is also used in surgical dressings, paints, paper coatings and rubber goods.
Zinc hydroxide is also found in some electrical batteries.
Hi

==============================...
The following are the uses of Zinc Hydroxide...!!
1) In case of rusting...Zinc is covered with a layer of ZnOH2 .which will protect the zinc from corrosion, also protecting the underlying metal. Zn(OH)2 is insoluble for pH between 6 and 13, and in this range the hydroxide will protect the zinc under water......
2)Zinc Hydroxide uses are as an intermediate and it is used for production of zinc
3) Zinc Hydroxide is used as an absorbent insurgical dressings
4) Zinc Hydroxide is used in rubber compounding
5) Currently, it is more economically advantageous to simply add the zinc hydroxide to that waste and dispose of it as hazardous rather than separating it, storing it, and applying for delisting.
