Zinc dust has a number of applications in the chemical industry, mainly as a reducing agent, and in the metallurgical industry as a cementation agent. Its use in paint is mentioned above (see Corrosion protection). A growing use is in alkaline zinc–manganese dioxide primary batteries. Instead of a can made from zinc strip, these cells have a steel can with a layer of manganese dioxide on the inside and inside that again a separator enclosing a paste of zinc powder as the anode. The energy capacity of these cells is about double that of the traditional Leclanché cell.
