Nickel fluoride

Nickel fluoride (CAS 10028-18-9), commonly referenced as NiF2, is an inorganic nickel salt used in specialty chemical manufacturing and surface treatment processes.

Where is Nickel fluoride used?

• Fluorinating agent and catalyst precursor
• Surface modification additive in industrial and technical applications
• Metal finishing and coatings: fluoride-containing nickel plating baths and conversion coatings that improve corrosion resistance
• Catalyst precursor in fluorination reactions and hydrogenation processes where controlled nickel activity is required
• Specialty adhesives and sealants: surface wetting and adhesion promotion on difficult-to-bond substrates
• In industrial formulations it is used for antimicrobial and preservation applications where biocidal metal ion activity is relevant.

Commercial specifications

• Particle size and purity specifications vary by application requirement
• Technical grade is the standard commercial form; high-purity grades for catalyst and specialty chemical manufacturing
• Kilogram to metric ton quantities depending on process scale and consumption rates
