Zinc dust

Zinc dust

Color Index Pigment Metal 6 & Pigment Black 16

Formula Zn

Properties

It is a fine blueish grey powder that reacts with alkalis to produce zincates and with oils to make zinc soaps. Corrosion resistance is generated via a sacrificial chemical reaction of the pigment rather than the steel substrate. Zinc dust also protects film formers in exterior coatings by absorbing UV radiation.
