Perchloric Acids & Perchlorate Salts

GFS was founded on Perchlorate chemistry over 85 years ago and we continue to be the global leader today. Once only thought of as an analytical reagent, Perchloric Acid has been reinvented as a novel compound for applications ranging from etching of LCD’s to polymerization catalysis to fuel cell research.
 
 GFS is the world’s largest producer of high purity Perchloric Acid and specialty perchlorate salts; as well as a renowned resource on the safety and manufacture of these materials. Our proprietary distillation technology has been developed and perfected over 50 years and enables our acid to be the highest quality material available throughout the world. In addition to distillation expertise, GFS specializes in trace metal chemistry and high purity crystallization of salts. Whether you require metric tons of ultra dry Lithium perchlorate for a battery application or Magnesium Perchlorate for use as a desiccant; GFS has what you need.
GFS has published two excellent sources of additional information on the safe use of Perchlorate chemistry. Perchloric Acid and Perchlorates and Practical Use of Anhydrous LiClO4 and Mg(ClO4)2 in Organic Synthesis  are valuable additions to any research library and provide a great deal of technical and safety information.
From research to pilot scale and even full scale requirements, GFS has the capabilities to partner with your project throughout the entire life cycle.
