Hexachloroplatinic(IV) acid

Hexachloroplatinic(IV) acid from Ecotec Chemical Components Plant is an inorganic chemical substance in the form of orange-red to brown crystals. It is actively used for producing catalysts in the chemical industry and catalytic converters for exhaust gases in the automotive industry, in oil and gas extraction, as well as for electroplating and in laboratory practice.

Key properties of hexachloroplatinic(IV) acid

Hexachloroplatinic(IV) acid is formed by dissolving platinum in aqua regia. The substance can also be obtained using other methods, for example, by exposing an aqueous suspension of platinum particles to gaseous chlorine, or by electrolysis. The mass fraction of platinum is not less than 37.5%. The main properties of hexachloroplatinic(IV) acid from Ecotec Chemical Components Plant are:

• highly hygroscopic;
• readily soluble in water, ethanol, and ether;
• melts at a temperature of 60°C;
• when heated in a stream of Cl2 (360°C), it decomposes with the release of HCl and the formation of PtCl4.
