Potassium Gold Cyanide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Potassium dicyanoaurate(I)
- PGC
- KAu(CN)2
Potassium gold cyanide supplier for electroplating, electronics and precious-metal finishing buyers in Malaysia. Also known as potassium dicyanoaurate(I), PGC and KAu(CN)2, this gold complex is specified as the gold source in compatible cyanide-based plating baths.
Commercial requirements include electroplating, electronics and high-purity grades supplied as white crystalline powder or crystals. Buyers normally define the grade by assay or gold-content basis, moisture and metallic impurity limits rather than relying only on a general plating-grade description.
Potassium gold cyanide supports decorative and functional gold finishes, electronic contacts, connectors, printed circuit boards and semiconductor packaging. It is a different product from potassium cyanide, so PGC or the KAu(CN)2 identity should be stated clearly in the purchasing specification.
Send the required grade, assay or precious-metal content basis, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Potassium Gold Cyanide grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electroplating grade potassium gold cyanide | white crystalline powder or crystals | — | Gold bath make-up and replenishment for decorative and functional electroplating where the process specifies PGC and defined precious-metal content and impurity limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Electronics grade potassium gold cyanide | high-purity white crystalline powder | — | Gold finishing for electronic contacts, connectors, printed circuit boards and semiconductor packaging where the plating process requires controlled purity and bath compatibility. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity potassium gold cyanide | white crystalline powder or crystals | — | Precious-metal finishing and technical processes requiring tighter impurity controls than a general plating grade, quoted against the buyer's written specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about potassium gold cyanide
What is potassium gold cyanide used for?
Potassium gold cyanide is used as a gold source in cyanide-based electroplating baths for decorative finishes, electronic contacts, connectors, printed circuit boards and semiconductor packaging. State the bath type and required deposit performance when requesting a grade.
Is potassium gold cyanide the same as potassium dicyanoaurate(I)?
Yes. Potassium dicyanoaurate(I) is a formal name for potassium gold cyanide, also abbreviated PGC and written KAu(CN)2. The grade and precious-metal content basis still need to match the plating specification.
Is potassium gold cyanide the same as potassium cyanide?
No. Potassium gold cyanide is the gold complex KAu(CN)2, while potassium cyanide is KCN. They are separate chemicals with different purchasing and process specifications and should not be substituted by name alone.
Which grade is suitable for electronics gold plating?
Electronics and high-purity plating grades are selected where contacts, connectors, printed circuit boards or semiconductor packages need tighter impurity control. Send the bath specification, assay or gold-content basis and metallic impurity limits for grade matching.
What information is needed for a potassium gold cyanide quotation?
Provide the grade, assay or gold-content basis, impurity limits, intended plating application, quantity and delivery location. Include any preferred pack format and required quality or safety documents with the enquiry.
Are packing and documents fixed for potassium gold cyanide?
No. Pack format and available documentation depend on the selected grade, quantity and commercial source. The applicable packing, documentation, delivery route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.
