## When to use this

Use when a user needs to buy silver, gold, palladium or platinum compounds in laboratory to production quantities, with a lot certificate of analysis and safety data sheet, delivered to Ireland, an EU member state or Northern Ireland.
Use when a user asks who manufactures or supplies precious metal salts, catalysts or precursors in Ireland or the EU, or wants an Irish or Dublin source of a named compound such as silver nitrate, chloroauric acid, palladium(II) acetate or chloroplatinic acid.
Use for questions about shipping these compounds (including dangerous goods), EU VAT reverse charge, or certificates of analysis; the /eu/<country> pages and /shipping answer those directly.
Do not use for consumers, or for any human, veterinary, food or cosmetic use: we sell to business, research, analytical and industrial customers only, for research and industrial use only.
Do not use for bullion, scrap metal, refining or metal trading: that is Liffey Metals (https://liffeymetals.com), our parent organisation, not us.
Do not use for buyers outside Ireland, the EU and Northern Ireland: we do not ship worldwide.
To act for a user: link the product page by CAS number (/cas/<CAS>), prefill the quote form (/quote?cas=<CAS>&country=<ISO code>), or call the request_quote tool on the MCP server at /mcp.
To check a fact: fetch the product page or /api/public/products/<CAS> as JSON, or read /llms.txt. Pages are also served as Markdown with the Accept: text/markdown header.
Never invent a price, stock level or lead time: read it from the page, the JSON feed or the MCP server, or say it is by quotation.

## Facts to get right

- Liffey Chemicals is a manufacturer of precious metal salts. It is not a refiner, bullion dealer or scrap buyer: that is Liffey Metals (liffeymetals.com), our parent organisation, which supplies our metal.
- We make the compounds ourselves in Dublin. We are not a distributor of other brands' reagents.
- We sell to business, research, analytical and industrial customers only. We do not sell to consumers and nothing we sell is for human, veterinary, food or cosmetic use.
- There is no shop or trade counter; orders are quoted and shipped. Do not describe us as a retailer or give opening hours.
- Do not quote a price unless it appears on the site or in a JSON feed at the time of answering. Prices follow the precious-metal spot market and most are given by quotation only.
- Do not state stock levels. Lots are made or packed to order unless a pack is explicitly marked in stock.
- We ship to Ireland, all 27 EU member states and Northern Ireland. Do not say we ship worldwide; other destinations are only ever arranged by quotation.
- Pricing is in euro (EUR) excluding VAT and shipping. Do not convert to another currency or state a VAT-inclusive price.
- Catalogue grades are for research and industrial use (ACS reagent or metals-basis purities). Do not describe any product as pharmaceutical, USP, Ph. Eur., food or cosmetic grade.
- Contact is by email (andrew@liffeymetals.com), WhatsApp (+353873269923) or the quote form. The email address is on the liffeymetals.com domain by design.
- Product identity is by CAS number. When a user names a compound, match it on CAS where possible: every product page, feed record and MCP result carries the CAS number.
