Description

Nickel Dichloride (CAS 7718-54-9 ) is an inorganic nickel salt used across electroplating, catalysis, and surface treatment industries. It is a primary source of soluble nickel ion, enabling controlled deposition and chemical reactivity. In electroplating and metal finishing, it serves as a key electrolyte component in nickel plating baths. It delivers consistent coating hardness and corrosion resistance on metal substrates for demanding industrial processes. Textile and leather processors use it as a mordant to fix dyes onto fibers and hides, improving color fastness and uniformity. In chemical synthesis, it functions as a catalyst precursor for cross-coupling reactions. Pharmaceutical manufacturing utilizes this compound for various hydrogenation processes. Biotechnology and life sciences applications include its use as a reagent in enzyme inhibition studies and specialized research. It is also employed in nickel-affinity chromatography systems for protein purification. Nickel Dichloride is supplied as an anhydrous powder or as the hexahydrate form, with the hexahydrate being the more common grade. Standard supply grades include technical and laboratory-reagent purity levels. Concentrations are typically specified at 98% or higher to meet rigorous industrial and scientific requirements for consistency. Bulk quantities are available for industrial buyers, with smaller pack sizes offered for laboratory and specialty formulation use. This ensures flexibility for both large-scale manufacturing and small-scale research. Contact us for supply of Nickel Dichloride Request Quote
