Inorganic Compounds & Salts is arranged by position in the periodic table, which makes it easy to browse by element. Sub-categories cover alkali and alkaline earth compounds, transition metals, refractory and heavy metals, main group metals and metalloids, precious metal salts, rare earth oxides and salts, and ammonium and non-metal compounds. Typical products include Cesium acetate 99.9%, Ammonium metavanadate, Chloroauric acid and Ceric oxide at 99.99%.

Inorganic buyers usually specify purity in one of two ways. Reagent grades such as AR and GR state an assay plus limits for named impurities. High-purity grades state a trace metals basis figure, such as 99.999%, measured by ICP. Hydration state, anhydrous or hydrate, also matters for weighing and reactivity, so check it on the listing.

Many salts are oxidisers, toxic or corrosive, and are packed and declared accordingly. Each lot ships with a COA and SDS. Search by formula or CAS number to find a specific salt and hydrate quickly.

Inorganic Compounds & Salts: questions buyers ask

Should I buy the anhydrous or hydrated form of a salt?
Use the form your method or process specifies. Hydrates are often cheaper, easier to handle and less hygroscopic, but they carry water that adds weight and can interfere in moisture-sensitive reactions. Anhydrous salts must be kept dry. Correct the weighed amount for molecular mass when switching between forms.
What does 5N purity mean?
5N means 99.999% purity, or five nines. It is usually stated on a trace metals basis, meaning the total of measured metallic impurities is below 10 ppm. Higher grades such as 6N are used in electronics and crystal growth. Check the COA for the list of elements actually measured.
Are some inorganic salts restricted for export?
Yes. Certain compounds, such as some cyanides, fluorides, beryllium and cadmium salts, and chemicals listed under weapons conventions, may need export licences or end-use declarations. We screen orders for these controls and will ask for end-use information when required before confirming the order.
