ChemPUR stands for the highest quality, profound expertise, and reliable supply in the field of high-purity chemicals. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified company, we supply mercury and mercury compounds in purities specifically designed for demanding applications in research, development, and industry. Our portfolio includes both elemental mercury and selected inorganic and organic compounds. Through our worldwide network of distributors, we are able to provide almost all relevant materials and respond flexibly to individual requirements. At the same time, you benefit from personal, expert advice, especially for complex applications or special purity requirements. Our aim is a long-term partnership focused on quality, availability, and service.
What purities are available for mercury?
We offer mercury in a wide range of purities, starting from 99.99% up to ultra-high purities of up to 99.999999%. These gradations allow you to select precisely the quality required for your application. Especially in sensitive areas such as analytics, materials research, or precise synthesis, defined purities are crucial for reproducible results. The ChemPUR range includes several purity levels within the high-purity range, covering both standard applications and high-end research projects. Upon request, we also examine individual requirements, such as specific purity grades or availabilities. This ensures that you always receive the appropriate material quality for your project.
Which mercury compounds does ChemPUR offer?
Our portfolio in the field of mercury includes both the pure element and a targeted selection of important compounds. These include, among others, mercury(II) acetate for applications in organic synthesis, as well as various inorganic compounds. In the field of halides, we offer mercury(I) chloride, mercury(II) chloride, and mercury(II) iodide. The range is supplemented by mercury(I) nitrate dihydrate and mercury(II) oxides in red and yellow forms. These products are available in defined purities and cover a wide range of possible uses. This selection allows us to support both classic laboratory applications and specialized research projects.
For which applications is mercury suitable?
Mercury and its compounds are used in numerous scientific and industrial applications. These include, in particular, analytical procedures, materials science investigations, and chemical syntheses. In research, high-purity mercury is used, for example, for reference measurements, calibrations, or specific reaction processes. Mercury compounds find application in organic and inorganic chemistry, for instance, as reagents or intermediates. Due to the high purity of our products, they are particularly suitable for applications where even the smallest impurities can affect the result. Our range is therefore specifically tailored to the requirements of laboratories, development departments, and research institutes.
How is the quality of mercury ensured?
The quality of our mercury products is based on clearly defined standards and a certified quality management system according to ISO 9001:2015. Each purity level offered is specified and tailored to the requirements of scientific and industrial applications. Through our many years of experience in high-purity chemicals, we ensure that our products exhibit consistent and reproducible properties. Additionally, at ChemPUR, you benefit from our careful selection of suppliers and our international network, which supports consistently high material quality. This combination of tested processes, technical expertise, and structured quality management ensures that you can rely on the performance of our mercury products.
Can you advise on product selection?
Expert advice is a central component of our service offering at ChemPUR. Especially when it comes to mercury, where different purities, compounds, and application areas play a role, we specifically support you in selecting the appropriate product. Our advice is particularly aimed at laboratories, research departments, and technical purchasers who have specific requirements for material properties or purity grades. We analyze the application together with you and, based on that, recommend suitable products from our portfolio. We are also available as a competent contact for more complex questions or individual requirements.
What forms of mercury are available?
Mercury is available from us both as a pure element and in the form of various chemical compounds. We offer elemental mercury as a liquid in different purity levels. Our range also includes several compound forms assigned to different substance classes. These include acetates, halides, nitrates, and oxides. This variety makes it possible to specifically address different applications and fields of use. Whether for simple laboratory processes or specialized research applications – we provide you with the appropriate form of the material. The clear structure of our portfolio allows you to quickly identify the suitable product category.
