Nickel octanoate
CAS Number
4995-91-9
What is Nickel octanoate?
Nickel octanoate (CAS 4995-91-9), also known as nickel dioctanoate, is an organometallic nickel salt used as a catalyst and catalyst precursor.
Where is Nickel octanoate used?
- Polymer and rubber processing: catalyst precursor
- Ziegler-Natta and related polymerization systems: influences chain growth and molecular weight distribution in polyolefin and synthetic rubber production
- Coatings and resins: curing and cross-linking agent for controlled metal-catalyzed oxidative cure
- Lubricants and metalworking: additive precursor contributing to extreme-pressure and anti-wear performance
- Adhesive and sealant elastomeric systems: promotes cross-link density and cohesive strength
- Its oil-soluble character makes it compatible with organic processing systems.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid or viscous solution in hydrocarbon or mineral oil carriers
- Nickel metal content defined by percentage
- Bulk and drum quantities
