Description

Nickel Sulfate CAS NO 15244-37-8 is an essential inorganic salt widely used as a primary source of nickel ions in industrial processes. Its consistent quality and high solubility make it a critical raw material for achieving uniform and durable metallic coatings and battery cathodes. This product is indispensable for manufacturers in the electroplating, battery production, catalyst formulation, and chemical synthesis industries.

Application

• Electroplating & Surface Finishing: As a primary component in nickel plating baths for decorative, functional, and corrosion-resistant coatings on metals and plastics.
• Battery Manufacturing: A key precursor material in the production of cathodes for nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.
• Catalyst Production: Used in the synthesis of catalysts for hydrogenation reactions and other chemical processes in the petrochemical and fine chemical sectors.
• Ceramics & Pigments: Serves as a source of nickel for creating colored glazes, ceramic stains, and inorganic pigments.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a starting material or reagent for producing other nickel compounds and salts.
• Agriculture (as a micronutrient): Formulated into fertilizers to correct nickel deficiencies in specific crops and soil conditions.

Quality Control

Our Nickel Sulfate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Production adheres to relevant industry specifications for electroplating and battery applications. Comprehensive testing is performed, including assay, impurity profile analysis, and physical property verification. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking. Recommended storage temperature: 15-25°C.
