About Mercury, ≥99.999%

Mercury is a high-purity metal carrying the CAS registry number 7439-97-6 with a typical assay of 99.999%. The compound has the formula Hg, corresponding to a molecular weight of 200.59 g/mol.

It is supplied as a silver to grey liquid. Literature values give a melting point of −38.87 °C. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from sources of ignition, with the container tightly sealed. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for alloy preparation, evaporation sources, materials research and electronics and thin films. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and metallurgy and mining.

Vaqora Chemicals supplies Mercury in 50 g packs, each shipped with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), and exports worldwide.
