A PROVEN VARIETY
OF PRECIOUS METAL CHEMICALS

SAXONIA precious metal chemicals are used in demanding applications, providing a reliable basis for companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical and high-tech industries worldwide. Our portfolio comprises the key compounds used in precious metal chemistry, based on gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium – available in solid, crystalline form, as a solution or as a concentrate.

Thanks to decades of production experience, modern, high-capacity production facilities, comprehensive laboratory capabilities and certified management systems in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001 and ISO 50001, we ensure consistently high quality standards, energy-efficient production processes and a reliable supply of high-quality precious metal chemicals. Combined with our consistent use of precious metals recovered in-house, we stand for quality, sustainability and security of supply – making us a reliable partner since 1612.

GOLD / SILVER COMPOUNDS
Our gold and silver compounds are largely used in the surface engineering for electrolytic and chemical silver plating of surfaces for technical and decorative applications is used. For cyanide-based silver salts is SAXONIA is one of the largest manufacturers in Europe. The silver(I) nitrate produced at our plant in Halsbrücke, Saxony is used internationally in the mirror manufacturing, the film and photographic industries, the finishing of textiles as well as the chemical industry very popular – both in crystalline form and solution. Other products can be found for example. in the battery manufacturing, in theelectronicsindustry as well as in the production of fusion paints they are used.

The chemicals manufactured by SAXONIA made from palladium and rhodium are recognised internationally as starting material for the production of electrolytes and activators used. These are required in the electroplating industry, in the electronics industry for coating of printed circuit boards as well as for glass finishing. Furthermore compounds made from platinum group metals are essential for the manufacture of chemical and exhaust catalysts.

We supply our precious metal chemicals in two different forms, depending on your requirements – either as a solid, crystalline powder or as a solution or concentrate. We supply your precious metal chemicals in a choice of PE inner liners and type-approved cardboard boxes as outer packaging, PE bottles, PE tins, PE canisters and PE containers. Packaging sizes can be agreed on an individual basis.

Transport information: Most of our precious metal chemicals are classified as hazardous substances or dangerous goods. They must therefore be handled with particular care, in accordance with the safety regulations laid down by law. Product labelling and inner and transport packaging comply with the relevant legal requirements.
