Physical description & handling notes

• Obtained in both anhydrous form and as a dihydrate. Both are white crystalline solids. The primary hazard is the threat posed to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment. Used to preserve wood, to make other zinc compounds, as a food and feed additive.
• Dry Powder; Liquid
• Colourless crystals or fine, off-white powder
• Colorless, white to greyish-white, or yellowish solid; [HSDB] White solid; [CAMEO] White powder; [MSDSonline]
• Exists in two crystalline forms, alpha (wurtzite) and beta (sphalerite)
• White to grayish-white or yellowish powder colorless cubic crystals
