Mercury Oxide Powder

Mercury oxide powder (HgO), with CAS No. 21908-53-2, is a high-purity inorganic compound commonly used in industrial applications. It appears as a yellow to red powder and is primarily utilized in the production of other mercury compounds and as a catalyst in various chemical processes. Stored at room temperature, it requires airtight containers to prevent degradation. The powder is valued for its stability and reactivity in oxidation reactions. Industries such as electronics, chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceuticals utilize mercury oxide for its specific properties. Due to its toxicity, careful handling and proper safety measures are essential during use and storage.
