Agriculture field
In order for crops to grow better,they must have sufficient Zinc.Zinc solution can be used for crops in areas where the soil is Zinc deficient.Manufacuters use Zinc chloride as a chelating agent in combination with other compounds to produce this Zinc product.
Flux field
A welder uses a flux containing Zinc Chloride to help weld two pieces of metal.This flus can be used as cleaning agent to remove oxides and impurities onthe metal surface which can increase the soldering fastness very well.
Dry battery field
Dry cells use a Zinc Chloride paste to help control the electrons and provide electrical power.Zinc Chloride also has moisture-proof and anti-corrosion effects.Due to its low production cost,it is well suited for intermittent power supply equipment such as flashing barricade lights,navigation equipment and electonic watches.
