Silver stripping and recovery chemistry
Non-cyanide silver stripping and leaching for PV panels and industrial scrap.
PolyGO’s silver chemistry covers both routes: stripping that recovers silver in solid form directly from scrap, and non-cyanide leaching for PV panels and decorative-coating waste. The same stack is built for high silver-to-copper separation and fits modern environmental compliance.
Products in this family
Non-cyanide silver stripping that recovers silver directly in solid form from industrial scrap, electronic feedstock and decorative components.

Frequently asked
Yes. The non-cyanide silver leaching/stripping formulation is specifically validated against the silver-paste contact layer used in crystalline-silicon photovoltaic modules.
Recovery depends on feedstock grade and line design. Paired with PolyGOResin capture, the process targets up to 98% silver recovery.

Feed composition varies between PV panel silver-paste, plated contacts and jewellery scrap. PolyGO offers a no-cost sample assay to establish the silver content and chemistry of your specific feedstock before recommending a stripping or leaching approach.
