Quality Control

Our nickel products are manufactured and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with relevant industrial and chemical standards. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metallic impurities, and physical characteristics. Specifications can be aligned with customer requirements for various grades, including metallurgical, plating, and catalytic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its nature of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to store under an inert gas such as argon or nitrogen for long-term preservation of high-purity or fine powder grades. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to air and moisture.
