Silver is a relatively soft, shiny metal. It tarnishes slowly in air as sulfur compounds react with the surface forming black silver sulfide. Silver is widely distributed in nature. But its abundance in the earth's crust is very low (0.05 ppm) than other metals. It occurs both naturally in its pure form and in ores, particularly derived from all the sulfur bearing lead, copper, gold, tellurides, and zinc, which is extracted through refining.

Silver has the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and optical reflectivity than any other metal, but it has the lowest electrical contact resistance.

Alfa Chemistry provides high-quality precious metals at a competitive price. Silver products we can supply are in the shapes of bar, foil, pellet, weave mesh, powder, rod, disc, and wire, etc. We can also customize various shapes of Silver products according to your requirements or drawings.

Applications

In addition to chief applications in coinage, ornaments and jewelry, silver can be used in the following applications:

  • Photography.
  • Dental alloys.
  • Solder and brazing alloys and electrical contacts.
  • High-capacity silver-zinc and silver-cadmium batteries.
  • As paint in making printed circuits and other electronic applications.
  • It can be deposited on glass or metals by chemical deposition, electrodeposition, or by evaporation to make mirrors.
