The most common applications of mercury are in the production of industrial chemical drugs and in electronic or electrical products. Mercury is also used in thermometers, especially those for measuring high temperatures. More and more gaseous mercury is still used in the manufacture of fluorescent lamps. In addition, the uses of mercury also include: it can decompose gold from its minerals, so chemicalbooks are often used in gold mines. It was once used to treat sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis in history, but has long been phased out due to its excessive toxic and side effects. Other uses: mercury switches, pesticides, as mercury cathodes in the production of chlorine and sodium hydroxide, preservatives, as electrodes, batteries and catalysts in some electrolytic equipment.

HiraChem is your specialist supplier of Silver Mercury.
Mercury (also known as quicksilver) is the only metal which is liquid at room temperature - it is well known for it's use in thermometers, but it is also widely used in scientific research, for dental restoration and in lighting.
Mercury forms alloys with different metals easily - these alloys (called amalgams) can be used for creating dental fillings and are in use to create long-life batteries.
IT'S MAIN APPLICATIONS ARE:
AS CATALYST FOR THE PRODUCTION OF PVC (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)
IN ENERGY EFFICIENT CFL (COMPACT FLUORESCENT LIGHT) BULBS
IN CATHODE CELLS
IN INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS
IN PAINTS
