Application

Zinc chloride solution is a colorless liquid. It is mildly corrosive to metals. It causes burns to eyes skin and mucous membranes.

Dosage

Zinc chloride is the name of chemical compounds with the formula ZnCl2 and its hydrates. Zinc chlorides, of which nine crystalline forms are known, are colorless or white, and are highly soluble in water, also in ethanol and acetone. With excess water, acidic (pH ~ 4) zinc oxychloride is formed.
