Potassium Tetrachloroaurate(III) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Potassium Gold Chloride
- Potassium Tetrachloroaurate
Potassium tetrachloroaurate(III) supplier for plating lines, catalyst makers and laboratories in Malaysia. This page covers potassium tetrachloroaurate(III), the chloroaurate gold precursor also known as potassium gold chloride, specified where a soluble gold(III) compound is required.
Plating grade and reagent grade can be requested, each supplied as an orange-yellow crystalline solid. The grade is chosen against the purity and gold assay requirements of the electrolyte, catalyst or research application.
Non-cyanide gold plating of electronic contacts and connectors, catalyst preparation and laboratory work each define their own assay and handling requirements. State the application so the quoted grade matches the process.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation, and supply is subject to applicable requirements.
