Zinc Sulfate

Agriculture field

Overview

Zinc Chloride (ZnCl2) is a highly soluble, strongly hygroscopic zinc salt supplied in technical grades for industrial use. In agricultural value chains it can serve as a zinc source and as an intermediate for the production of other zinc-containing formulations, where its solubility and reactivity are required. Material supplied by Bisley International is intended for processing by industrial users rather than direct handling by end users.


In selected fertilizer and crop nutrition applications, zinc chloride may be evaluated as a zinc component in liquid or specialty products when compatible with the overall formulation concept and when the presence of chloride is acceptable within agronomic and regulatory constraints. Any such use must be assessed carefully, as chloride and zinc both have specific limits and guidelines in many agricultural systems. Non-agricultural uses of zinc chloride, such as in industrial or chemical processes, fall outside the scope of this overview.


Zinc chloride is corrosive and requires careful handling, storage and equipment selection. Bisley International supplies defined technical grades with specified zinc content, solution strength or solid composition, and impurity limits, supported by technical data sheets, safety data sheets and certificates of analysis. Customers are responsible for verifying that any use of zinc chloride in fertilizers or related products is technically appropriate, safe and compliant with local environmental and regulatory requirements.

Applications, characteristics and considerations

Applications in agricultural value chains

Zinc Chloride is used as a technical zinc source and intermediate in a limited number of agricultural formulations, subject to local regulations, product registrations and technical evaluation. Potential roles may include:

  • Zinc component in selected liquid or solution-based fertilizer formulations where chloride and zinc levels are compatible with agronomic and regulatory constraints.
  • Intermediate for further processing into other zinc-containing products used in crop nutrition or related applications.
  • Use in industrial processes associated with agricultural supply chains, where zinc chloride plays a processing or functional role rather than acting directly as a fertilizer.

Key characteristics and performance features

Zinc Chloride supplied through Bisley International is produced to a defined technical specification suitable for industrial use. Typical characteristics considered in agricultural and related applications include:

  • High solubility in water, enabling the preparation of concentrated zinc-containing solutions when handled correctly.
  • Defined zinc content and chloride level, as specified in the technical data sheet for the relevant grade (solid or solution).
  • Strongly hygroscopic and corrosive nature, which influences storage, packaging and equipment selection.
  • Specified impurity limits for elements such as lead, cadmium and other metals, according to the product’s technical grade.

Handling, safety and selection considerations

Because Zinc Chloride is corrosive and can be hazardous to people and the environment if misused, careful handling and program design are essential. Customers should consider:

  • Strict adherence to the safety data sheet (SDS), including appropriate personal protective equipment, ventilation and spill management procedures.
  • Selection of storage tanks, piping and application equipment compatible with corrosive chloride-containing solutions, to minimise corrosion and equipment damage.
  • Local environmental and regulatory requirements governing zinc and chloride discharges to soil, water and wastewater systems.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Below you will find answers to common questions about Bisley International's agricultural raw materials, documentation and supply approach. All items are collapsed by default, so you can quickly open the topics most relevant to your business.

Which agricultural markets does Bisley International serve?
Bisley International focuses on supplying raw materials for crop nutrition and related segments, including fertilizers, foliar products, fertigation, seed treatment and selected animal nutrition applications. We do not manufacture finished fertilizers or crop protection products; instead, we support producers and formulators with consistent, specification-driven raw materials.
How can I request TDS, SDS and COA for a product?
When you submit an enquiry via the contact form or through your usual Bisley representative, please specify which agricultural chemical you are interested in and the intended use. Our team will share the appropriate technical data sheet, safety data sheet and, where relevant, example certificates of analysis. COA are issued per batch with commercial deliveries.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Minimum order quantities depend on the specific product, origin, packaging and shipping route. Many materials are supplied by the full container load or truckload. Smaller lots may be possible in certain regions via local stock or consolidation. We will clarify practical MOQ and shipment sizes as part of the quotation process.
Which packaging formats are available?
Packaging options vary by product and producer. Typical formats for agricultural chemicals include 25 kg bags, big bags and other industrial containers designed for efficient handling and storage. Available formats and labelling options are discussed with you during enquiry and quotation.
Do you keep stock, or supply only on a made-to-order basis?
The supply model depends on the product and destination. Some materials are shipped directly from producers to customers on a contractual or spot basis, while others may be available from regional stock. During discussion we will outline realistic lead times and whether stock programs could be appropriate for your demand pattern.
Can Bisley International recommend grades for my formulation?
We can help you narrow down suitable raw materials and typical specification ranges based on your target nutrient content and application. However, we do not provide formulation, agronomy or regulatory advice. Final selection, testing and approval of any material must be carried out by your own technical team in line with local requirements.
To which regions can you supply agricultural raw materials?
Bisley International operates with a global outlook. For specific agricultural chemicals we can discuss supply into North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific, subject to commercial, logistical and regulatory feasibility. Please describe your preferred destination when you contact us.
How do I obtain pricing and availability for a specific product?
Please use the enquiry form on this website or contact your usual Bisley representative. Sharing details such as target product, volume, destination and timing will help us to respond with a focused discussion on supply possibilities, lead times and indicative commercial terms.
Do you provide agronomic or advisory services to growers?
No. Bisley International supplies raw materials to companies active in crop nutrition and related value chains. We do not provide agronomic recommendations, application rates or advisory services to farmers or growers. Those decisions should be taken together with your own advisors and local experts.
Where can I learn more about your agricultural product range?
You can explore key agricultural chemicals and mineral nutrients on this website, including calcium, magnesium, phosphate, boron and zinc salts used in modern crop nutrition. If you do not see a particular material listed, please contact us directly: we may still be able to discuss potential sourcing options with you.
