MADE IN USA Old Bridge Zinc Sulfate is a spray dried, fine,
free-flowing, high purity, pure white, odorless and water soluble
powder. It is ideally suited for providing the nutritional zinc
requirements in animal feeds. Rapid dispersion and solubility are
beneficial in production of foliar sprays. Old Bridge Zinc Sulfate
meets the high chemical purity requirements for production of water
treatment chemicals, chemical compounding and the production of
rayon and many other industrial applications. TYPICAL ANALYSIS Zinc

Zinc is one of the essential elements for plant and animal life.
Zinc deficiency in animals was not recognized until ***4. Today's
sophisticated farmer understands the importance of zinc in
maintaining normal health and increased yields, especially in swine
and poultry. In swine, a lack of zinc in the diet causes
parakeratosis, characterized by dermatitis, diarrhea, vomiting,
decreased appetite, severe weight loss and eventual death. In
poultry, zinc deficiency results in loss of appetite, growth
retardation, blood disorders, arthritic deformities, bone diseases
and death. Zinc supplements to the diet often cause prompt
recovery. Zinc Sulfate is the optimum source of zinc in animal
feeds as the nutritional source of zinc due to its biological
availability. In plants zinc serves as a growth hormone and
influences protein synthesis. Zinc deficiency often causes stunting
of the plant, yellowing of the leaves, and decreased yields of
seed, grain, vegetables or fruit. In the United States zinc
deficient soils are found in *2 states. At least *1 crops are
reported to be affected by zinc deficiency. Spray applications of a
four to six percent solution may be employed on trees during the
dormant period. Zinc Sulfate is often used on crops such as pecan,
deciduous fruits, peanuts, cotton, corn, vegetables and especially
citrus. Since zinc is required in such small amounts it is
classified as a trace element or micronutrient. Recommendations for
the agricultural use of Zinc Sulfate should be obtained from the
United States Department of Agriculture or your State department of
agriculture. Zinc Sulfate is used in the manufacture of viscose
rayon fiber. It is one of the ingredients In the spinning bath
where it promotes coagulation and crenellation of the fiber. Zinc
Sulfate Solution is the ideal source of zinc in the production of
Zinc Stearate. It is used as a catalyst in numerous chemical
operations. In water treatment, Zinc Sulfate finds application as a
corrosion inhibitor in cooling towers and municipal water systems.
Zinc Sulfate also finds use in production of pigments, preservation
and clarification of glue, in flame proofing compounds, as a mining
flotation agent, in wood preservatives, in electro metallurgy and
electro galvanizing. Zinc Sulfate can also be used in many diverse
industrial applications and may be used in place of zinc oxide.
