Silver Mercury – High Purity 99.99%

Silver Mercury, also known as quicksilver or elemental mercury, is a dense, silvery liquid metal at room temperature. With a high level of purity (99.99%), it is commonly used in gold extraction (amalgamation), laboratory experiments, dental applications, and scientific instruments such as thermometers and barometers.

Cavin Resource is a trusted wholesaler of high-purity silver mercury, offering secure packaging and global shipment capabilities. We ensure that all shipments are fully compliant with international hazardous materials handling regulations, and we supply a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) with every order.

Our mercury is stored and shipped in secure flasks or customized packaging, depending on your needs. We serve a global clientele in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, supporting both small labs and large-scale industrial users.

⚙️ Production Method

Extraction from Cinnabar Ore

1. Cinnabar ore (HgS) is mined and crushed.

2. It is roasted in a furnace, releasing elemental mercury vapor.

3. Vapors are condensed into liquid mercury and purified via filtration and distillation to achieve 99.99% purity.
