Application

Zinc Chloride serves as a potent Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis, facilitating Friedel-Crafts acylation and alkylation reactions. In metallurgy, it acts as a flux for soldering and galvanizing processes due to its ability to remove oxide layers from metal surfaces. Additionally, it is employed in textile processing, wood preservation, and as a disinfectant in dental and medical applications.
