Description

Nickel fluoride (CAS 10028-18-9 ), commonly referenced as NiF2, is an inorganic nickel salt used across specialty chemical manufacturing and surface treatment processes. It functions primarily as a fluorinating agent and catalyst precursor. The material also serves as a surface modification additive in industrial and technical applications. In metal finishing and coatings, NiF2 is used to produce fluoride-containing nickel plating baths and conversion coatings. These coatings improve corrosion resistance on substrate surfaces. As a catalyst precursor, it is incorporated into fluorination reactions and hydrogenation processes where controlled nickel activity is required for the reaction. In specialty adhesive and sealant formulations, it contributes to surface wetting and adhesion promotion on difficult-to-bond substrates. This makes it a versatile component in high-performance industrial bonding. Limited use exists in antimicrobial and preservation applications within industrial formulations where biocidal metal ion activity is relevant. Nickel fluoride is supplied as a crystalline powder or anhydrous solid. Particle size and purity specifications vary by application requirement. Technical grade is the standard commercial form, with high-purity grades available for catalyst and specialty chemical manufacturing. Buyers typically source this material in kilogram to metric ton quantities depending on process scale and consumption rates. It remains a critical component for manufacturers requiring precise fluoride and nickel delivery. Contact us for supply of Nickel fluoride Request Quote
