What Does Zinc Phosphate Mean?
Zinc phosphate is an inorganic chemical compound consisting of zinc, phosphorous and oxygen with the chemical formula Zn3(PO4)2. It is commonly used as a corrosion inhibitor when applied to metallic surfaces.

Zinc phosphate is used to produce corrosion resistant coatings that are typically applied either as part of an electroplating process or as a primer pigment. It reacts moderately with water and is acid soluble with zinc sources, allowing it to have good moisture resistance and galvanic substitution properties. When used in a micronized form for pigmentation it is suitable for a wide range of primer applications.
Zinc phosphate is also a key component of zinc orthophosphate hydrate, which is a protective compound that is easy to disperse. Its low solubility behavior provides high compatibility with both solvent- and water-based resins.
