Ammonium Thiocyanate

Ammonium Thiocyanate – High-Purity AR Reagent for South African Labs

Ammonium Thiocyanate (NH₄SCN, ammonium rhodanide) is a high-purity analytical reagent (AR grade) widely used in volumetric analysis, complexometric titrations, and as a colorimetric reagent for iron determination. Its strong affinity for iron(III) ions produces a characteristic blood-red colour, making it an essential indicator and reagent in titrimetric and colorimetric analytical methods. GLASSWORLD supplies high-quality ammonium thiocyanate to laboratories across South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

Key Features

• Analytical reagent (AR) grade – High purity for accurate volumetric and colorimetric analysis
• Primary standard quality – Suitable for preparation of standard thiocyanate solutions
• Highly water soluble – Easy preparation of standard and indicator solutions
• Sensitive iron(III) indicator – Produces intense red colour for visual endpoint detection
• Available in multiple pack sizes – From laboratory quantities to bulk supply

Applications

• Volhard method for silver and halide determination (argentometric titration)
• Colorimetric determination of iron(III) in water and industrial samples
• Standard thiocyanate solution preparation for titrimetry
• Complexometric analysis and metal ion detection
• Qualitative spot testing for iron and silver
• Analytical chemistry and quality control laboratories
• University and teaching laboratory use

Safety Notice: Ammonium thiocyanate is harmful if ingested or inhaled. Handle with appropriate PPE including gloves and safety goggles. Avoid contact with strong acids as toxic hydrogen cyanide gas may be released. Follow all relevant MSDS and laboratory safety protocols.

Available in AR and laboratory grades. Supplied to analytical and research laboratories across South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa. Request a quote for pricing, pack sizes, or bulk orders.
