Overview of Mercury

Mercury is a heavy metal known for its unique liquid state at room temperature. It is a silvery-white metal with high density and excellent electrical conductivity, making it historically important in chemical processing, laboratory applications, electrical devices, and metallurgical processes.

In industrial and scientific applications, Mercury is valued for its stability, uniform expansion, and ability to form amalgams with other metals. It has been widely used in instruments such as thermometers, barometers, switches, and specialised laboratory equipment. In controlled industrial environments, Mercury is also used as a catalyst, electrode material, and intermediate in chemical manufacturing.

ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Mercury Metal strictly for professional and industrial use, ensuring quality consistency, controlled packaging, and compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
