Zinc phosphate (Cat No.: M014661) is an inorganic compound widely used as a corrosion-resistant coating for metals, especially in automotive and industrial applications. It forms a passive layer that enhances paint adhesion and prevents rust. In dentistry, zinc phosphate cement is employed as a durable, fast-setting material for crowns and bridges. It is also used in pigments and as a flame retardant. Known for its stability, adhesion-promoting properties, and compatibility with various substrates, zinc phosphate plays a key role in protective and structural applications.
