Technical Description & Product Overview

Sodium Cyanide (NaCN) is a highly toxic inorganic compound supplied as a white crystalline solid or powder. It is primarily used in industrial mining and metallurgical processes, particularly for the extraction of gold and silver from ores, as well as in selected chemical manufacturing applications. Chemical formula: NaCN; CAS: 143-33-9; Molecular weight: 49.01 g/mol. Sodium cyanide is extremely toxic and potentially fatal through ingestion, inhalation or skin exposure and can release highly poisonous hydrogen cyanide gas when exposed to acids. It requires strictly controlled industrial handling, secure storage, appropriate regulatory compliance and trained personnel.
