Nickel Chloride Hexahydrate is used as a nickel source for electroplating and nickel-plating processes, as well as in the preparation of nickel catalysts, nickel complexes and nickel-containing materials.

Specification

Commercial grades vary significantly. Current supplier examples include 99.9% and 99.999% trace-metals-basis grades, while other application-specific grades are available. UAB An Group Export should publish the actual purity, impurity limits and nickel content only according to the applicable supplier specification and CoA.

Storage & Handling

Nickel Chloride Hexahydrate requires controlled chemical handling. Current safety classifications identify significant acute toxicity, sensitization, carcinogenicity, reproductive-toxicity and aquatic-hazard concerns for applicable grades. Handling, storage, PPE and transport should follow the current SDS for the exact product supplied.
