Description

Cobalt Nitrate CAS NO 19154-72-4 is an inorganic salt of cobalt, primarily supplied as a hexahydrate, valued for its role as a versatile cobalt source and catalyst precursor. It is essential for processes requiring controlled oxidation states and the introduction of cobalt ions into various matrices. This product is critical for manufacturers in the ceramics, catalyst, and surface treatment industries seeking reliable, high-purity raw materials for consistent production outcomes.

Application

• Catalyst Manufacturing: A key precursor for catalysts used in petrochemical refining, hydrodesulfurization, and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
• Ceramic Pigments & Glazes: Imparts stable blue and green colors in porcelain, glass, and specialty ceramic coatings.
• Surface Treatment & Electroplating: Used in electrolyte formulations for cobalt alloy plating, providing wear and corrosion resistance to metal substrates.
• Agricultural & Nutritional Supplements: Serves as a source of cobalt, an essential micronutrient, in animal feed additives and fertilizer formulations.
• Laboratory & Analytical Reagent: Employed in research, analytical chemistry, and as a standard for calibration in spectroscopic analysis.
• Precursor for Cobalt Oxide: A starting material in the thermal decomposition production of cobalt oxide powders for batteries and electronics.

Quality Control

Our Cobalt Nitrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, heavy metal content, and other critical parameters. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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) and should be kept under conditions that minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity to prevent caking and degradation.
