Inorganic Technologies

Nearly a century of chemical and engineering expertise powers our vertically integrated inorganic manufacturing, from raw material control to ultra-high purities tailored for critical applications.

Purpose-Built Inorganic Chemistry

We engineer processes instead of lot-selecting products, delivering consistent quality from ACS Reagent Grade through trace-level purities. Our core technologies support demanding specifications, secure supply chains, and repeatable performance.

Core Capabilities

  • Acid & base chemistry
  • Distillation & purification
  • Dry room packaging
  • Flexible 30 to 3,000 gal reactors
  • Heavy metal chemistry
  • Rare earth chemistry
  • Recrystallization expertise
  • Tray & rotary vacuum drying
Perchlorate Compounds

Perchlorate Compounds

GFS began with anhydrous magnesium perchlorate in 1928 and remains North America's leading perchloric acid producer. Tap into hydrated and anhydrous salts engineered for demanding drying and energetic applications.

Heavy Metal Compounds

Heavy Metal Compounds

High-purity heavy metal salts and solutions spanning cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, and more. Manufactured domestically to support electronics, catalysis, battery, and specialty chemical markets.

High Purity Inorganics

High Purity Inorganics

Proprietary acid distillation and decades of recrystallization expertise deliver metal-basis purities up to 99.999%. When standard specs aren't enough, collaborate with our technical team on confidential solutions.

Lithium and Alkali Metals

Lithium & Alkali Metals

Battery, energy storage, and catalytic applications rely on our lithium, sodium, and potassium salts, supported by tight impurity controls and flexible packaging options.

Rare Earth Chemistry

Rare Earth Chemistry

Cerium, lanthanum, yttrium, and gadolinium salts crafted to support polishing, catalysts, optics, and advanced material development, available as catalog and custom formulations.

Alkaline Earth Compounds

Alkaline Earth Compounds

Magnesium, calcium, barium, and strontium salts produced with rigorous impurity control and packaged to support electronics, aerospace, life sciences, and industrial innovation.

Iodine Compounds

Iodine Compounds

From iodides and iodates to iodine-based oxidizers, we offer a broad catalog backed by on-site process control and traceability. Partner with us to tune grade, packaging, and particle size.

Ammonium Compounds

Ammonium Compounds

Manufactured in Columbus, Ohio, our ammonium nitrate and specialty ammonium salts satisfy energetic, analytical, and industrial applications that require verified consistency.

Silver and Precious Metal Compounds

Silver & Precious Metals

Silver nitrate, perchlorate, sulfate, and other precious metal salts produced with heritage expertise, supporting electronics, photonics, and specialty synthesis.
