Most silver is nowadays produced as a byproduct of copper, lead, or zinc mining. Because silver is the most electrically conductive element, as well as stable to most environmental conditions, it is used extensively in electronic applications.

Established uses for silver chemicals include batteries (i.e. Ag-Zn and Ag-Cd), non-lead solders, photography, and mirrors. Silver chemicals are also used as precursors for the production of elemental silver, especially via electroplating, for uses such as silverware, jewelry, and dental fillings.

Emerging uses for silver compounds include antibacterials, pharmaceutical precursors, and specialty catalytic materials.

Silver is unique in that it offers a range of redox chemistries, including High Valence Metal divalent and trivalent compounds. 

GFS Chemicals offers a complete range of silver chemistries suitable for industrial as well as analytical applications.
