Zinc Acetate 2-hydrate is commonly used in pharmaceutical formulations for its stabilizing and therapeutic properties.
Zinc Acetate is widely used in supplements and medications to prevent and treat zinc deficiency. Its high bioavailability ensures efficient absorption, making it ideal for restoring zinc levels in deficiency states.
Zinc Acetate 2-hydrate lozenges are effective in alleviating cold symptoms. They help shorten the duration and lessen the severity of colds by inhibiting rhinovirus replication and boosting immune responses.
In the treatment of Wilson's disease—a genetic disorder causing copper accumulation—Zinc Acetate Dihydrate acts by reducing copper absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. This lowers copper levels in the body and prevents further organ damage, particularly in the liver and brain. It is a well-tolerated option for long-term management.
Zinc Acetate 2-hydrate is used as a stabilizing agent in long-acting insulin formulations. It enables a gradual and consistent release of insulin, facilitating effective blood glucose management for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
Due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, Zinc Acetate Dihydrate is a key ingredient in topical acne treatments. It helps regulate sebum production, inhibits acne-causing bacteria, and reduces inflammation, improving skin appearance and texture.
Zinc Acetate Dihydrate is used in a variety of foods and food supplements as a source of Zinc, which is essential for proper immune function and numerous metabolic processes. Its high solubility allows it to be easily incorporated into nutritional products such as beverages and meal replacements. In food supplements, our Zinc Acetate 2-hydrate is used in tablets and capsules.
Zinc Acetate-2-hydrate (CAS No. 5970-45-6) is approved as a food additive with the E number E 650 for use in chewing gum, as it reduces bad breath and is therefore a popular ingredient for promoting fresh breath.
Lohtragon® O06, based on Zinc Acetate 2-hydrate (CAS No. 5970-45-6), is a powerful additive for cleaning products and detergents. It effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria and microorganisms, ensuring cleaner, more hygienic surfaces and fabrics. The product also neutralizes unpleasant odors. Additionally, it supports stain removal by binding with metal ions and protects fabrics from damage during washing, making it essential in household and industrial cleaning solutions.
As an additive for polymers, Lohtragon® O06 improves the optical clarity of materials, making it ideal for transparent applications like packaging. It enhances the thermal stability of polymers, enabling them to endure higher processing temperatures without degradation. This product also increases the adhesion of coatings and inks on polymer surfaces, optimizing performance for films and laminates.
For wood preservation, Lohtragon® O06 delivers outstanding protection against fungal decay and insect damage, extending the life of wood products. It forms a protective barrier, shielding wood from environmental factors like moisture and microbial growth. Additionally, it prevents stains caused by mold and mildew, preserving the wood’s appearance over time.
Lohtragon® O06 also acts as a reliable corrosion inhibitor in surface treatments by forming a protective layer on metal surfaces. This barrier improves corrosion resistance, reducing oxidation and significantly prolonging the lifespan of treated materials.
