VWR Sodium cyanide ≥95.0% (by argentometric titration), GPR RECTAPUR®

VWR Sodium Cyanide (NaCN), GPR RECTAPUR® grade, is a high-purity cyanide salt used primarily in metal extraction (e.g., gold and silver leaching), electroplating, and specialized synthetic processes. With a certified minimum assay of ≥95.0% (determined by argentometric titration), it offers consistent performance in critical industrial and analytical applications.

Due to its high toxicity, health hazard, and environmental risk, sodium cyanide must be handled under strict safety protocols in well-controlled laboratory or production environments.
