Zinc phosphate is a commonly used corrosion inhibitor with many industrial and dental applications. A study analyzed various zinc phosphate pigments to identify the most efficient corrosion inhibitor for steel substrates. Modified zinc phosphate provided the highest percent inhibition efficiency of 95% on cold rolled steel based on conductivity and pH tests of leached samples and polarization plots, which showed it had the highest electrode potential and lowest current density. Zinc phosphate is produced by treating zinc oxide and metallic zinc in an aqueous solution with phosphoric acid, yielding 98% zinc phosphate that provides protective and mechanical properties for corrosion resistance applications.

The efficiency of •Zinc phosphate was first produced by compound that has many industrial uses and zinc phosphate is directly related to the following properties: purity, solubility, morphology, pigment- treating zinc oxide with phosphoric acid in an is also predominantly found being used in polymer interactions, pigment volume concentration, the surrounding environment, and the aqueous solution at 70-80℃ in the presence dental restorations. Zinc phosphate is the substrate. For some applications, zinc phosphate pigments are modified increasing the coating of metallic zinc and then separating out the oldest of the luting cements and serves as a weight as well as protection by altering the above properties. zinc phosphate.
