Quality Control

Our Nickel Chloride is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. We offer various grades, including technical and high-purity, tailored to specific application requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
