Zinc chloride is the name of chemical compounds with the formula ZnCl₂ and its hydrates. Zinc chlorides, of which nine crystalline forms are known, are colorless or white, and are highly soluble in water. ZnCl₂ itself is hygroscopic and even deliquescent. Samples should therefore be protected from sources of moisture, including the water vapor present in ambient air. Zinc chloride finds wide application in textile processing, metallurgical fluxes, and chemical synthesis. No mineral with this chemical composition is known aside from the very rare mineral simonkolleite, Zn₅(OH)₈Cl₂·H₂O.

Applications:

• Zinc chloride has the ability to react with metal oxides (MO) to give derivatives of the formula MZnOCl₂. This reaction is relevant to the utility of ZnCl₂solution as a flux for soldering — it dissolves oxide coatings, exposing the clean metal surface.
• An early use of zinc chloride (Silzic) was in building carbon skeletons by condensation of methanol molecules. 
• In textile and paper processing
• Smoke grenade
• Skin cancer treatment 
• Disinfectant 
• Fingerprint detection
