Description

Nickel Formate CAS NO 15843-27-3 is an inorganic salt of nickel and formic acid, serving as a critical precursor in advanced materials synthesis. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a clean, efficient source of metallic nickel upon thermal decomposition, avoiding unwanted byproducts. This makes it indispensable for manufacturers in the catalyst, electronics, and specialty chemical industries seeking high-purity nickel deposits or nanoparticles.

Application

• Catalyst Precursor: A key starting material for the production of nickel-based catalysts used in hydrogenation, reforming, and other petrochemical processes.
• Electroless Nickel Plating: Used in formulating baths for depositing uniform, corrosion-resistant nickel-phosphorus or nickel-boron coatings on metals, plastics, and ceramics.
• Nanomaterial Synthesis: Serves as a source for generating nickel nanoparticles and nanostructures with applications in batteries, magnetic materials, and conductive inks.
• Ceramic & Pigment Manufacturing: Acts as a colorant and modifying agent in the production of specialty glasses, ceramics, and inorganic pigments.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Employed as a volatile precursor for depositing thin films of nickel or nickel oxide in semiconductor and coating applications.
• Laboratory Reagent: Used in research and analytical chemistry as a standard or reagent for synthesis and testing.

Quality Control

Our Nickel Formate is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization, to meet exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, and we support compliance with relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with low humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizers.
