Zinc tetrafluoroborate is a starting material for homometallic, trinuclear heteroscorpionate complexes, which are applied in studies of electronic and magnetic properites. It is used as mild Lewis acid catalyst for various reactions.

Zinc decanoate has being patented as a feed additive and a feed-use growth promoter. It might be used in pig feed as a substitute for a high dose of zinc oxide; zinc decanoate reduces the use of zinc in animal husbandry and can decrease production costs, while also reducing the toxic side effects of high levels of zinc. Zinc decanoate is used as a drier in paints, dispersing agent, emulsifying agent, lubricant.

Zinc Benzoate is an organic metal salt in a white powder form. It is very slightly soluble in water. Zinc Benzoate is commonly used in food and feed additives as a preservative and source of zinc. It is antiseptic, anti-animalcule and anti-freezing agent used in food, medicine, tobacco, plating, printing and dyeing.
