Potassium silver cyanide

Potassium silver cyanide (CAS 506-61-6), also known as potassium argentocyanide, is the primary silver source used in electroplating baths to deposit uniform, high-purity silver coatings onto metal substrates.

Where is Potassium silver cyanide used?

• Electronics manufacturing: silver for plating connectors and contacts
• Silverware, jewelry and flatware: bright, adherent silver deposits
• Printed circuit board fabrication: silver plating baths meeting tight thickness and adhesion specifications
• Printing sector: silver-coated surfaces for specialty packaging and conductive inks
• It releases silver ions in a controlled, complexed form suited to precision plating operations.

Commercial specifications

• Silver content typically certified to defined assay levels
• Sealed, moisture-resistant containers
• Kilogram quantities to bulk drum supply
