GC Salt is an electrolyte. When added to water, in the Simplicity Gold & Platinum Refining System, it dissolves gold. It is formulated with characteristics uniquely suited for the Simplicity Refining System.

Safe.

GC Salt is non-toxic and odorless.

Neutralizes the alkalinity of the cathode-side solution.

Alkalines corrode ceramics, such as the GC Cell, so it is very important to neutralize them. GC Salt incorporates buffering compounds to neutralize the alkalinity of the cathode side solution.

Dissolves the 5-6% silver content.

Alternative chloride-based formulas and compounds dissolve 0% silver content, thereby severely slowing the dissolving of gold. GC Salt however dissolves the 5-6% silver content that is typical of 14 karat gold.

Avoids making a mess.

GC Salt incorporates flow agents, allowing it to pour easily without clumping. It also dissolves readily in warm water.
