Silver sulfate

Silver sulfate (CAS 10294-26-5) is an inorganic silver salt.

Where is Silver sulfate used?

• Water treatment: catalyst and masking agent in COD testing, suppressing chloride interference in standard analytical procedures
• Pharmaceutical and healthcare: antimicrobial active in wound care preparations and topical treatments targeting bacterial contamination
• Personal care: preservation systems requiring sustained silver ion release
• Precursor in the synthesis of other silver compounds and reference standard in laboratory and quality control workflows
• Its controlled release of silver ions underpins its function as a biocidal agent and analytical reagent.

Commercial specifications

• Packaging from small quantities for analytical use to bulk quantities for industrial-scale water treatment
