Zinc nitrate is used in the textile industry as a catalyst to achieve certain effects on textiles. Zinc nitrate, for example, produces a higher level of cross-linking - compared to magnesium chloride - in cellulose fiber production, for example, coupled with higher acid resistance of the fibers. Zinc nitrate is also indispensable in electroplating and in the dyeing of acetate fibers. The zinc nitrate swells on the acetate fibers, so that the dyeing result is more uniform, and the mostly basic dyes can penetrate deeper into the fiber. It is also used in the manufacture of catalysts for various applications. This product is manufactured in New Albany, Indiana, and can be supplied in drums, totes, or full bulk tankers.
