What is Nickel acetate tetrahydrate?
Nickel acetate tetrahydrate (CAS 6018-89-9) is a water-soluble nickel salt used as a catalyst precursor and surface treatment agent.
Where is Nickel acetate tetrahydrate used?
- Textile and leather finishing: mordant and fixative improving dye uptake and wash fastness
- Electroplating and anodizing: sealing agent for anodized aluminum, closing surface pores to enhance corrosion resistance
- Polymer and specialty chemical synthesis: catalyst precursor calcined or reduced to generate active nickel species for hydrogenation
- In pharmaceutical manufacturing it serves as a reagent and process chemical where nickel-mediated catalysis is required.
Commercial specifications
- Purity specifications typically ranging from 98% to 99%+ depending on the application
- Packaging options generally range from small laboratory quantities to bulk industrial supply
