Nickel nitrate hexahydrate

Nickel nitrate hexahydrate (CAS 13478-00-7) is a water-soluble nickel salt; a crystalline solid used industrially as a source of nickel ions in surface treatment and catalyst preparation.

Where is Nickel nitrate hexahydrate used?

• Catalyst manufacturing: primary nickel precursor for impregnating alumina or silica supports, producing hydrogenation and reforming catalysts for petrochemical processing
• Electroplating and electroless nickel: bath solutions that deposit uniform nickel coatings on metal and plastic substrates
• Electronics: nickel-containing electrode materials and conductive layers in printed circuit board fabrication
• Mining and hydrometallurgy: solution chemistry for nickel recovery and refining of metal ores
• Its high solubility and controlled nickel content make it a precursor where precise nickel loading is required.

Commercial specifications

• Standard concentrations based on the hexahydrate form
• Purity from technical grade to high-purity reagent grade; bulk packaging in drums and IBCs
