  Zinc chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zinc chloride is an ionic salt, though some covalent character is indicated by its low melting point (275 °C) and its high solubility in solvents such as diethyl ether.
One use for zinc chloride is as a flux for soldering.
Zinc chloride is also a useful starting point for the synthesis of many organozinc reagents, such as those used in the palladium catalysed Negishi coupling with aryl halides or vinyl halides

Zinc levels in plasma and hair were not significantly different between subjects with normal histology and those with lesions presumed to be precusors of cancer (e.g., esophagitis, dysplasia, acanthosis).
Zinc concentrations were lowest in carcinomatous tissue, highest in BPH tissue, and intermediate in normal tissue (Feustel and Wennrich, 1984; Feustel et al., 1982; Györkey et al., 1967).

Because it was known that fluorides accumulated in the system, and eventually would cause the opposite condition - hypothyroidism, May was driven to find alternative compounds after it became known that all organic fluoride compounds maintained not only their character as an anti-thyroid, but could greatly enhance such activity.
Thirty years ago, only three enzymes that required zinc for their activities were identified; today more than 300 such enzymes have been classified (Prasad, 1996) The discovery of zinc "finger proteins" within the past two decades has further led to vastly improved understanding of how cells replicate and divide.
Considering that nuclear receptors for the steroid/thyroid superfamily are all zinc finger proteins, it is not surprising that zinc deficiency impairs the metabolism of thyroid hormones, androgens, and growth hormones.

 Patent 4849031: Process of producing phosphate coatings on metal surfaces
The required concentration of fluoride, which concentration is detected with the fluoride-sensitive electrode, is approximately as high as the content of dissociated (free) fluoride (F.sup.-) in the phosphatizing solution.
When fluoride has been added and it is then attempted to maintain the free acid content at the usual value which had existed before the addition of fluoride, the zinc concentration will rapidly decrease and the resulting coatings will be of lower quality.
The influence of the measured fluoride activity (F(el)) on the optimum content of free acid is taken into account by the correcting term K. In calculating the term K in the above equation the lower and higher values in parentheses apply to the lower and higher concentrations respectively.

 PF Online Feature Article: Zinc Phosphate Coatings on Non-Ferrous Substrates   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
According to Rausch (4), the fluoride assists in keeping the galvanize active (minimizes passivation) so that areas that contain impurities (aluminum and lead) can be uniformly phosphate coated along with the zinc.
In that case a nickel-chlorate zinc phosphate solution was used in an attempt to form a coating.
Freeman states that for galvanize surfaces, fluoride is used to activate the surface and complex any dissolved aluminum from the surface that could poison the phosphating solution (5).

Many binary and complex oxides are available for deposition onto particulates or reticulated metallic or ceramic bodies, where specific properties such as catalytic activity, surface modification of dielectric/conductivity characteristics, optical characteristics, and the requirement for hydrophobic coatings is required.
In general, fluorides are employed for their chemical inertness, and optical qualities, through thin film interference effects they impart to suitable substrates.
Most applicable fluorides have very low solubilities in aqueous systems, and are deposited via specialized and proprietary methods.

A 3 year double blind clinical trial was conducted t compare the caries inhibition of an A.D.A.-accepted fluoride dentifrice to the caries inhibitions provided by three fluoride dentifrices containing anticalculus agents.
There were no statistically significant differences in any of the dental parameters tested, DMFS, DMFT, and buccolingual, mesiodistal and occlusal surface increments.
It was concluded that the presence of anticalculus agents, specifically soluble pyrophosphate, zinc chloride and zinc oxide, do not interfere with the caries inhibition benefits of fluoride in a compatable dentifrice formulation.
