Silver Nitrate

Silver nitrate is a poisonous colorless crystalline inorganic compound with chemical formula AgNO3 that becomes grayish black when exposed to light in the presence of organic matter and is used in manufacturing photographic film, silvering mirrors, dyeing hair, plating silver, and in medicine as a cautery and antiseptic.

It can be handled in room lighting without risk of light sensitivity.
Always use Distilled Water when dissolving Silver Nitrate.
Silver Nitrate powder is generally toxic. The taste is extremely bitter!
Always store Silver Nitrate in Glass Containers!
Silver Nitrate can be stored safely in Polyacrylate (eg: "2 liter Soda bottle" plastic).

We offer Silver nitrate crystals. Due to the versatile nature, it is used in various industries. They can be used for Plating, and as a constituent, in pharmaceutical industries.
