Nitric Acid 55% CP
CPCP-grade nitric acid for laboratory and assay work.
Pack sizes on request
In stock: Windhoek & Walvis Bay
Every Namibian mine runs on numbers produced by its assay and process labs — and those labs run on reagents Swachem stocks through the ACE agency. CP-grade acids and solvents, fluxes and borax, permanganate, dichromate and thiocyanate for gold work, pH buffers and conductivity standards: the working shelf of a mine laboratory, held in Windhoek and Walvis Bay instead of a cross-border courier pipeline.
Chromates, cyanide-adjacent reagents and concentrated acids ship with full SDS and segregation-compliant packing; COAs accompany accredited-method reagents on request.
Uranium-province labs order via Walvis Bay — the B2 run means a Tuesday order is on the bench Thursday, which inland couriers from South Africa simply cannot match.
The lines mining buyers draw from this category most.

Yes — the fire-assay and wet-chemistry staples are shelf lines: borax for flux, nitric and hydrochloric CP for digestion and parting, potassium thiocyanate for gold titrations, plus the general reagent bench behind them. Anything deeper in the ACE catalogue comes in on the regular consignment, typically weeks rather than the months of a one-off import.
Buy small and often rather than big and stale — pH buffers and conductivity standards are dated consumables that suffer in a 40 °C store. Because we hold them locally, your standing monthly order can include fresh bottles at the rate you actually calibrate, and they ride to site with the plant chemical delivery instead of as separate freight.
That consolidation is precisely the value: one hazardous-goods manifest, one vehicle, one receiving event for lab, plant and workshop chemistry. Your SHEQ team processes a single documented delivery, and small reagent lines stop paying standalone freight. Most of our mine accounts run exactly this way on a monthly cycle.
The ACE catalogue behind our agency runs far deeper than our shelf, and our import desk covers the rest. Give us the exact name, grade and CAS number — precision prevents wrong-grade deliveries — and we quote landed cost and lead time. For method-critical reagents we recommend ordering a quarter ahead and letting us hold the buffer.
