About Sodium Cyanide 95% Min in Kenya

Sodium Cyanide 95% Min is a white crystalline solid widely used in the extraction of gold and silver from ores via cyanidation process. It acts by forming soluble metal-cyanide complexes, enabling efficient recovery in mining operations. This grade is also vital in chemical synthesis applications for producing organic and inorganic compounds. Due to its high toxicity and reactive nature, it must be handled with strict safety controls including specialized PPE and secure storage. Finstar Chemicals supplies sodium cyanide in sturdy 50kg drums, suitable for industrial use across Kenya and neighboring regions. Procurement from a reliable source ensures consistent quality and compliance with regional chemical handling regulations. Buyers benefit from documentation such as Certificates of Analysis guaranteeing the required assay and purity levels. Its applications include hydrometallurgy, electroplating, and some chemical manufacturing processes, where cyanide ions enable selective extraction or synthesis. Proper shipment and storage mitigate degradation risks, particularly in high-temperature and humid environments common in East Africa. Finstar Chemicals offers customer support for logistics and product handling advice tailored to mining and industrial clients, ensuring safe delivery and optimal usage.
