Zinc Salt By Nova Enterprise

Zinc acetate is a component of some medicines, e.g., lozenges for treating the common cold.[1] Zinc acetate can also be used as a dietary supplement.[2] As an oral daily supplement it is used to inhibit the body's absorption of copper as part of the treatment for Wilson's disease.[3] Zinc acetate is also sold as an astringent in the form of an ointment, a topical lotion, or combined with an antibiotic such as erythromycin for the topical treatment of acne.[4] It is commonly sold as a topical anti-itch ointment.

Zinc acetate is used as the catalyst for the industrial production of vinyl acetate from acetylene: CH3CO2H + C2H2 a CH3CO2CH=CH2 Approximately 1/3 of the worlds production uses this route, which because it is environmentally messy, is mainly practiced in countries with relaxed environmental regulations such as China.
