उत्तर
- Metallic zinc is used in galvanising metals such as iron and steel structures to protect them from rusting and corrosion.
- Zinc is also used to produce die-castings in the automobile, electrical and hardware industries.
- Zinc oxide is used in the manufacture of many products such as paints, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, inks, batteries, textiles arid electrical equipment. Zinc sulphide is used in making luminous paints, fluorescent lights and x-ray screens.
- Brass an alloy of zinc is used in water valves and communication equipment as it is highly resistant to corrosion.
