Chlorides

Nanoshel’s 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. The antiseptic nature of zinc chloride has found its use in antiseptic, astringent and in treating ulcers and pod dermatitis. It is also used in preserving anatomical specimens, wood preservatives, deodorant, disinfecting and embalming materials

Nanoshel’s Zinc Chloride is a Lewis acid and therefore electrophilic in character. Its catalytic activity is milder than that of aluminum chloride in, for example, Friedel-Crafts type reactions. Zinc chloride is particularly effective in catalyzing reactions that eliminate molecules of water, ammonia or mercaptans.

High-density solutions of Nanoshel’s Zinc Chloride and calcium chloride give good performance in well completion and work-over operations; the solutions also have merit as packer fluids under certain well conditions. Zinc chloride has been used in specialty corrosion inhibitors and invert emulsion breakers.

Zinc for Bad Breath (Halitosis) Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be an embarrassing social problem. You may have bad breath without knowing it, so proper dental hygiene in combination with zinc-containing products is key to ensuring your breath is fresh.

Nanoshel’s Zinc Chloride batteries offer 50%higher capacity and than carbon zinc under the same load. Zinc chloride batteries weight 20% more offer a 50% increase in service capacity, have the ability to sustain higher current drain and perform better at lower temp.
