Industrial Zinc Dust Supplier in Pakistan

Marjan Polymer Industries supplies zinc dust and fine zinc metal powder for industrial buyers in Pakistan. This product is intended for manufacturers and process users who need metallic zinc in a controlled powder form. The correct grade is selected according to zinc content, metallic zinc, particle size, particle shape, impurity limits and the intended process.

Zinc dust is not one universal grade. A powder selected for protective coating manufacture may not be suitable for a chemical reaction, battery process, metallurgical treatment or another specialised use. MPI therefore confirms the required specification before quotation and supply.

What zinc dust is

Zinc dust is a fine grey metallic powder produced from elemental zinc. It is also described in industry as fine zinc powder, zinc metal powder or zinc pigment. The chemical formula is Zn and the CAS number is 7440-66-6.

Its performance depends on more than nominal purity. Metallic zinc content, zinc oxide level, particle size distribution, particle shape, surface area, moisture and trace metals can change how the powder behaves in a formulation or process. Buyers should select the product against a technical requirement rather than purchasing by the words zinc dust alone.

Zinc dust is a raw material and not a finished coating

This page covers dry metallic zinc dust supplied as an industrial raw material. It is not a ready to use cold galvanizing compound, zinc rich compound, zinc primer, zinc paint or zinc paste. Those are formulated products containing resins, solvents, additives and other components.

A customer who needs a finished coating for direct application on steel should use a dedicated coating product. The ROVAL R Cold Galvanizing Compound product page covers that separate requirement. Zinc dust should only be purchased when the buyer needs the metallic powder as a manufacturing or process input.

Typical commercial grade options

The table below shows common industrial selection ranges. It does not replace the supplier technical data sheet or batch certificate. Final values must be confirmed in the quotation and relevant product documentation.

The figures above describe common market ranges and are not a guarantee for every available batch. MPI will identify the offered grade and its confirmed values before order acceptance. Where a certificate of analysis is required, the buyer should state the required limits with the enquiry.

Industrial applications

Protective coating manufacture

Fine zinc powder is used as a metallic pigment in the manufacture of selected protective coating systems. Coating performance depends on the complete formulation, pigment loading, binder, surface preparation and application. Zinc dust by itself is not a finished corrosion protection product and should not be applied directly as paint.

Chemical processing

Zinc metal powder can act as a reducing agent or process reagent in selected chemical operations. Reactivity changes with particle size, oxide content and surface area. The process owner must define the required grade and safe operating conditions.

Metallurgical treatment

Suitable grades may be used in cementation, metal recovery, surface treatment, sherardizing and related metallurgical processes. The required powder size and impurity limits differ between operations and must be confirmed before supply.

Battery and electrochemical use

Battery processes can require tightly controlled purity, particle form and electrochemical behaviour. General coating grade zinc dust should not be assumed to be battery grade. MPI will only quote such material against a defined technical requirement and available supporting documentation.

Special industrial processes

Other uses may include catalysts, friction materials, mechanical plating and specialised manufacturing. Suitability must be checked for the actual process. Pharmaceutical, food, cosmetic and agricultural use is not covered unless the offered grade is specifically certified for that purpose.

How to select the correct zinc dust grade

A useful enquiry should identify the application and the properties that control performance. Please send the following information when requesting a quotation.

• Intended industrial application
• Required total zinc content
• Required metallic zinc content
• Particle size or mesh requirement
• Preferred particle shape
• Maximum limits for lead, cadmium, iron or other impurities
• Required standard or test method
• Quantity and preferred packing
• Delivery city in Pakistan
• Need for a technical data sheet, safety data sheet or certificate of analysis

Mesh alone may not describe a fine powder adequately. For demanding formulations, a particle size distribution or median particle size is usually more informative. MPI will match the enquiry to the available commercial grade and provide the applicable documentation before confirmation.

Handling and storage

Zinc dust is a fine metal powder and must be handled as an industrial chemical. Keep the container tightly closed and dry. Protect it from moisture, heat, sparks, flames and other ignition sources. Avoid uncontrolled dust generation and use suitable ventilation, grounding and personal protective equipment.

Do not mix zinc dust with acids, strong alkalis, oxidising agents or unknown chemicals without a documented process review. Contact with incompatible materials can create heat or flammable hydrogen gas. The safety data sheet for the supplied grade must be reviewed before storage, transfer or use.

Zinc dust supply and price in Pakistan

Zinc dust price in Pakistan changes with zinc metal value, purity, metallic zinc content, particle size, grade, packing, order quantity and supply conditions. For this reason, MPI provides a current quotation after the technical requirement and quantity have been confirmed.

Industrial buyers in Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Multan, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and other locations can send their requirement to MPI. Delivery scope, lead time, minimum order quantity and payment terms are confirmed in the commercial quotation.

Frequently asked questions

Is zinc dust the same as zinc powder?

The terms are often used for the same family of fine metallic zinc products. The actual grade still depends on particle size, metallic zinc, total zinc, shape and impurity limits.

Is zinc dust the same as zinc oxide?

No. Zinc dust is mainly metallic zinc with the formula Zn. Zinc oxide is a different compound with the formula ZnO. They have different properties and industrial uses.

Is this product a ready to use zinc coating?

No. This product is dry zinc metal powder supplied as a raw material. It does not contain the complete binder, solvent and additive system needed for a finished coating.

What purity is available?

Commercial grades commonly fall within the ranges shown on this page. The exact total zinc, metallic zinc and impurity limits depend on the offered grade and must be confirmed in the relevant documentation.

Can zinc dust be used to manufacture protective coatings?

Suitable pigment grades can be used by qualified coating manufacturers. The customer remains responsible for formulation design, testing, manufacturing controls and compliance of the finished coating.

Can I buy zinc dust for battery production?

Battery grade material must meet the requirements of the specific electrochemical system. MPI will only quote against a defined specification and available documentation.

What is the price of zinc dust in Pakistan?

Price depends on grade, quantity, packing and the current zinc market. Send the required specification, quantity and delivery city for a current quotation.

Can MPI provide a sample?

Sample availability depends on the selected grade, current stock and supplier policy. State the application and required test quantity with the enquiry.
