Description of Zinc Hydroxide Carbonate Powder
Zinc Carbonate Basic (Zinc Hydroxide Carbonate) is a water-insoluble Zinc source that can easily be converted to other Zinc compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination). Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids.
