CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Zinc carbonate appears as a white crystalline solid or powder that is insoluble in water. The primary hazard is the threat posed to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Used in pharmaceuticals, to make other zinc compounds, as a feed additive. |
