Key Applications
Potassium Dicyanoaurate(I) is widely used as an electrolyte for gold electrodeposition, including gold coatings on substrates, thin films and electrodes. It is also used as a precursor for other gold compounds and in specialized electrochemical/materials applications.
Storage & Handling
This is a highly toxic cyanide-containing compound. Commercial safety classifications include severe acute toxicity and serious aquatic hazards; handling, storage, transport and disposal must follow the current SDS and applicable dangerous-goods requirements.
Specification Note
For the UAB An Group Export website, I recommend not publishing a fixed purity or gold percentage as your own specification until the actual supplier CoA is available. Commercial specifications differ by grade—for example, current listings include 98%, 99.95% trace-metals-basis and approximately 67.6% minimum Au specifications.
