Description

Silver Chloride is an inorganic compound with the formula AgCl, known for its photosensitivity and low solubility in water. This property makes it a critical precursor in the manufacture of photographic papers and films, as well as a versatile reagent in inorganic synthesis. It is essential for industries including photography, electroplating, analytical chemistry, and antimicrobial applications. Our high-purity Silver Chloride CAS NO 7783-90-6 ensures reliable performance and consistent quality for demanding industrial and laboratory processes.

Application

• Photographic Industry: As the primary light-sensitive material in traditional photographic papers, films, and photochromic lenses.
• Electrochemical & Electroplating: Used in reference electrodes (e.g., silver/silver chloride electrodes) and in certain electroplating baths.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key reagent or catalyst in organic and inorganic synthesis, particularly for introducing chlorine or silver.
• Analytical Chemistry: Employed in titrations (argentometry) for the determination of halides and as a standard in various analytical methods.
• Antimicrobial & Medical: Utilized in wound dressings, coatings, and certain medical devices for its biocidal properties.
• Ceramics & Glass: Imparts yellow coloration and special optical properties in glasses and ceramic glazes.
• Laboratory Research: Serves as a standard or starting material in photochemistry, materials science, and nanotechnology research.

Quality Control

Our Silver Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and insolubles. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the rigorous standards required for photographic, electrochemical, and analytical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is strictly light-sensitive and hygroscopic; containers must be kept sealed to prevent moisture absorption and exposure to all light sources, including ambient room light, to avoid decomposition and darkening.
