Description of Zinc Propionate

Zinc propionate is a white crystalline powder with a faint odor and a fine, sand-like texture. Interestingly, it’s hygroscopic, readily absorbing moisture from the air. Chemically, it’s classified as a zinc salt of propionic acid, with the molecular formula Zn(C2H5COO)2. This translates to a single zinc cation (Zn²⁺) bound to two propionate anions (C2H5COO⁻).

The resulting compound has a molecular weight of 211.5 grams per mole and boasts a melting point above 100 degrees Celsius. In terms of solubility, zinc propionate dissolves well in various organic solvents like ethanol and ether, while exhibiting only slight solubility in chloroform. These distinct chemical properties contribute to its diverse applications across various industries.

As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s zinc propionate.
