Versatile Industrial Applications

Nickel Sulfate is preferred in electroplating industries for delivering smooth, corrosion-resistant nickel coatings. Its also essential in manufacturing catalysts and for use as a laboratory reagent. Its controlled purity and excellent solubility ensure consistent performance and reliable outcomes in various industrial processes.

Consistent Physical Properties

With a density of 2.07 g/cm (hexahydrate) and a distinct green monoclinic crystalline appearance, Nickel Sulfate stands out for its stability. The refractive index of 1.510 and pH stability (~4.0-4.5 in solution) make it suitable for precise chemical formulations and industrial uses.

Safe Handling and Storage

Given its toxic classification (Hazard Class 6.1), Nickel Sulfate must be handled with care. Store in tightly sealed containers in cool, dry, and ventilated conditions away from incompatible substances. The product does not burn but should still be handled using appropriate personal protective equipment and standard safety protocols.

FAQs of Nickel Sulfate:

Q: How should Nickel Sulfate be stored to ensure its maximum shelf life?

A: Nickel Sulfate should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, sealed tightly in its original packaging or compatible containers. Proper storage prevents moisture absorption, contamination, and decomposition, ensuring a shelf life of up to two years.

Q: What processes commonly utilize Nickel Sulfate and why is it preferred?

A: Electroplating is the primary process utilizing Nickel Sulfate due to its high purity and excellent solubility. These qualities ensure uniform nickel deposition, resulting in corrosion-resistant finishes. It is also used in catalyst manufacture and as a laboratory reagent for reliable chemical reactions.

Q: When is Nickel Sulfate considered hazardous and what precautions are necessary during use?

A: Nickel Sulfate is classified as a toxic substance (Hazard Class 6.1) and is harmful if ingested or inhaled. Workers should wear protective gloves, masks, and safety goggles. Adequate ventilation and spill containment measures are recommended during handling and processing.

Q: Where is Nickel Sulfate supplied from and in what packaging options?

A: Nickel Sulfate is manufactured and exported from India. It is typically supplied in 25 kg bags or drums, but custom packaging options are available as required by the customer or application needs.

Q: What are the physical characteristics of Nickel Sulfate?

A: Nickel Sulfate appears as bluish-green to emerald green monoclinic crystals, is odorless, and has a density of 2.07 g/cm (hexahydrate). It is non-flammable, freely soluble in water, and stable under standard storage conditions.

Q: Can Nickel Sulfate be used in aqueous processes and what benefit does its solubility offer?

A: Yes, Nickel Sulfate is highly soluble in water with water-insoluble content below 0.01%. This excellent solubility facilitates fast and uniform mixing in aqueous processes such as electroplating baths, maximizing efficiency and performance.

Q: What is the benefit of using Nickel Sulfate with a minimum 98% purity in industrial applications?

A: High purity Nickel Sulfate ensures minimal contamination and unwanted reaction byproducts. This results in consistent, high-quality outcomes in sensitive applications like electroplating and catalyst production.
