Zinc Dithionite from Germany

Zinc dithionite (ZnS2O4) is an inorganic salt used in industrial reducing applications, particularly in pulp and paper bleaching. Classified under HTS 2831.90.00.00 as 'other' dithionites, it meets Chapter 28 requirements for chemically defined inorganic sulfur-oxygen compounds. Its metal salt nature distinguishes it from organic-stabilized forms.
