What it is and what it does. Potassium sulfide is the blackening and antiquing agent for copper alloys, chemically related to sodium sulfide but with a different solubility and crystal habit.
- Yellow to brownish deliquescent lumps; keep the drum closed because it absorbs moisture and carbonates.
- Gives the dark sulfide colours used for antique finishes on brass and bronze bag hardware.
- Never acidify - hydrogen sulfide is released, which is toxic and flammable.

Buyer Questions We Answer Every Week
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Which is better, sodium or potassium sulfide? | Chemically similar in effect; the choice usually comes down to availability and to the colouring recipe the customer already runs. |
| Why does the material look brown? | It contains polysulfides and oxidation products; it still works, but a fresh drum gives a more consistent colour. |
