These folks always ship fast and their products are always on point. Will buy again.
I’ve been refining for a while and decided to try the new GTE nitric and hydrochloric acid set. The nitric tested right around the advertised strength and reacted very quickly when dissolving base metals in my aqua regia mix. Compared to some of the nitric I’ve purchased elsewhere, the reaction was noticeably stronger and more consistent.
The bottles arrived well packed and clearly labeled, and the acids appeared fresh. I used it on a batch of gold-bearing material and the dissolution step went smoothly with no issues.
Overall very happy with the quality and I’ll definitely be ordering again.
