Silver Cyanide Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- silver(I) Cyanide
- AgCN
Silver cyanide supplier enquiries in Malaysia cover silver electroplating, electronic metal finishing and specialist laboratory work. Also called silver(I) cyanide and AgCN, it is a white to pale yellow crystalline silver salt specified by grade, silver content, cyanide balance and trace-metal limits.
Commercial options include electroplating grade, technical material, and reagent or high-purity crystalline powder. The grade should be selected against the bath or laboratory specification rather than by the bare product name, because silver content and impurity controls affect process compatibility.
Platers use silver cyanide as the silver source in cyanide-based silver baths and related finishing systems. Electronics manufacturers may specify it for contacts and specialist coatings, while laboratories use reagent material in controlled analytical or inorganic synthesis work. Silver nitrate, potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide are separate products.

Silver 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 silver cyanide | white to pale yellow crystalline powder | — | Silver source for cyanide-based silver electroplating baths and related metal-finishing systems where the bath specification sets silver content, cyanide balance and trace-metal limits. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical silver cyanide | crystalline powder | — | Industrial silver-plating make-up and specialist silver-salt process work where a technical AgCN grade is named and the required composition is defined by the buyer's process sheet. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Reagent or high-purity silver cyanide | fine white to pale yellow crystalline powder | — | Laboratory analysis, inorganic synthesis and high-purity plating or research work requiring tighter silver, cyanide and trace-metal controls. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about silver cyanide
Is silver cyanide the same as silver(I) cyanide or AgCN?
Yes. Silver cyanide is the common name for silver(I) cyanide, identified by the formula AgCN and CAS 506-64-9. Electroplating, technical and reagent grades still require separate specification details.
Which silver cyanide grade is used for electroplating?
Electroplating grade silver cyanide is selected as the silver source for cyanide-based silver baths. Provide the bath chemistry, silver content, cyanide balance and trace-metal limits so the quoted grade can be compared with the process specification.
Is silver cyanide the same as silver nitrate?
No. Silver cyanide and silver nitrate are separate silver salts with different counter-ions and process behaviour. Use silver cyanide when the plating bath or laboratory method specifically calls for AgCN, and use the exact salt named in the written specification.
Is silver cyanide the same as potassium cyanide or sodium cyanide?
No. Silver cyanide is AgCN, while potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide are separate alkali-metal cyanide salts. They are not aliases or interchangeable grades, so the required silver salt should be named clearly in the enquiry.
What specifications should be included for a silver cyanide quotation?
Provide the grade, silver or cyanide assay basis, trace-metal and insoluble matter limits, intended bath or laboratory use, quantity and delivery location. Include the current plating or analytical method when compatibility depends on specific impurity controls.
How is silver cyanide packed and handled?
Pack format and documentation depend on grade, quantity and destination and are confirmed with the quotation. State the preferred container and required documents, and follow the safety information and site handling controls for the quoted cyanide material.
