Product Overview


Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate, identified by its chemical formula Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O and CAS number 13478-00-7, is a critical inorganic compound renowned for its versatility across industrial sectors. It presents as aquamarine platelike crystals belonging to the monoclinic crystal system, with key physical properties that enhance its usability: a density of 2.05g/cm³, a melting point of 56.7°C, and a boiling point of 136.7°C (for saturated solutions). This compound dissolves freely in water, liquid ammonia, and ethanol, while being slightly soluble in acetone—its aqueous solution is acidic, allowing seamless integration into various process formulations. Our Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate maintains a minimum purity of 98%, with a nickel content of at least 20%, and strictly controls impurities like copper, iron, and lead (each capped at 0.005%). This rigorous quality ensures it meets the demands of sensitive applications, from electroplating to battery manufacturing.

Product Benefits


Purity-Driven Reliability: With impurities like Cu, Fe, and Pb kept below 0.005%, our Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate eliminates quality risks in precision processes. It also aligns with modern sustainability goals, as its high purity reduces harmful byproducts in industrial workflows.

Easy Handling via Strong Solubility: Its ability to dissolve quickly in water and ethanol simplifies solution preparation for electrolytic baths, pigment mixing, and catalyst synthesis. This solubility cuts down processing time and minimizes waste, boosting operational efficiency.

Consistent Batch Performance: Strict quality control throughout production ensures every batch has uniform physical and chemical traits. Whether preserving the shine of plated jewelry or maintaining the activity of nickel catalysts, this consistency guarantees stable results.

Cross-Industry Versatility: From nickel plating to battery cathode production, it replaces the need for multiple specialized chemicals, streamlining supply chains and lowering inventory costs for businesses.


Usage


Nickel Plating Applications

As a core ingredient in nickel plating, our Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate enables electric current-driven deposition of a uniform, durable nickel layer on metal surfaces. This process is vital in the automotive and aerospace industries to enhance component corrosion resistance, and in jewelry/cutlery manufacturing to maintain long-lasting shine. Its high purity ensures the plated layer adheres firmly and resists wear over time.


Nickel Catalyst Production

It serves as an essential intermediate for manufacturing nickel catalysts—key to hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions in organic chemistry. These catalysts are critical for producing synthetic fibers, plastics, and pharmaceuticals, where the compound’s purity directly impacts catalytic activity and reliability.


Pigment Manufacturing

In pigment production, our Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate creates vibrant, lead-free nickel-based pigments for ceramics, glass, and plastics. These pigments are safe for food packaging materials, addressing growing demand for non-toxic coloring solutions.


Battery Materials Synthesis

For Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, it acts as a raw material for nickel hydroxide cathodes. Its high purity ensures efficient energy storage/discharge, while consistent batch quality extends battery lifespan—making it ideal for consumer electronics and automotive applications.


FAQ


How should I store Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate?

Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area with tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption. Avoid temperatures above 56.7°C (its melting point) to prevent crystal degradation.


Is this compound toxic?

Our Nickel Nitrate Hexahydrate is non-toxic when handled per standard industrial protocols. However, wear gloves and goggles to avoid direct skin/eye contact during handling.


What packaging options are available?

We offer 25kg net bags, with 40 bags per pallet (1000kg total). This packaging protects against contamination and simplifies transportation.


What is its transport classification?

It falls under Class 5.1 (oxidizing substances) with UN number 2725. Transport must comply with international dangerous goods regulations.
