Zinc Nitrate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Zn(NO₃)₂ and CAS Number 7779-88-6 for the anhydrous form. It is commonly supplied as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. Hydrated forms, particularly Zinc Nitrate Hexahydrate, are also available and have different physical properties and CAS numbers.

Zinc Nitrate is valued as a source of zinc and nitrate ions in aqueous solutions and chemical reactions. Common laboratory applications include the preparation of zinc-containing solutions, analytical chemistry procedures, inorganic chemistry experiments, and research involving zinc compounds and nitrate salts. It may also be used in specialised chemical formulations and other applications requiring a soluble zinc salt.

Its high water solubility and chemical properties make Zinc Nitrate useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade, purity, and hydration form should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application.

KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.

Safety Note: Zinc Nitrate is an oxidising substance and may intensify fire if it comes into contact with combustible materials. It may also cause skin and eye irritation and can be harmful if swallowed. Avoid contamination with incompatible substances, particularly combustible and reducing materials. Handle it using appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
