Description

Nickel Carbonate [Nickel And Certain Nickel Compounds] CAS NO 17301-01-8 is an inorganic salt of nickel, serving as a crucial precursor for the synthesis of other nickel compounds and catalysts. This material is valued for its role in producing consistent, high-purity nickel oxide and nickel salts essential for advanced industrial processes. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the ceramics, electroplating, and catalyst production industries for creating pigments, surface coatings, and catalytic systems.

Application

• Precursor for the manufacture of nickel oxide and nickel catalysts used in hydrogenation and reforming processes.
• Raw material in the production of ceramic glazes, frits, and pigments to impart specific colors and finishes.
• Essential component in electroplating baths for depositing nickel coatings on metal substrates.
• Used in the synthesis of other nickel salts, such as nickel sulfate and nickel nitrate, for various chemical applications.
• Additive in specialty glass and enamel formulations to modify optical and physical properties.
• Starting material for producing nickel-based compounds used in battery electrode materials and superalloys.

Quality Control

Our Nickel Carbonate is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, heavy metal limits, and loss on drying, to meet relevant industrial and chemical standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee specification compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and CO2. Separate from strong acids.
