Ammonium thiosulfate, 96%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Supplier: Thermo Scientific Chemicals A1019036
Description
Ammonium thiosulfate finds application for leaching of gold and silver since it forms strong complexes. It is widely utilized as a photographic fixing agent, which acts quicklier than sodium thiosulfate fixers. It serves as a fertilizer. It acts as an additive to coal-waste mixtures to inhibit the formation of dangerous dioxins and furans. It is used as an analytical reagent in laboratories.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
