Product Overview
This Puratronic™ 99.99% nickel wire is engineered for laboratory applications requiring ultra-high purity and dimensional consistency. The 0.05mm (0.002in) diameter ensures fine precision for delicate procedures, while the 99.99% metals basis purity minimizes contamination risks in sensitive experiments. The wire’s uniform thickness and corrosion-resistant properties make it suitable for thermal conductivity tests, electrical components, and specialized research setups. Its Puratronic™ grade guarantees minimal trace impurities, ensuring reliable results in analytical and industrial applications. The wire is supplied in continuous lengths (5m or 25m) for flexibility in usage, with no surface treatments or coatings that could interfere with experimental integrity. Its high ductility allows for easy shaping without compromising structural integrity, while the nickel composition provides excellent resistance to oxidation and chemical degradation. Ideal for environments where consistency and material reliability are critical, this wire meets stringent quality standards for research-grade materials.
FAQs
1
What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard nickel wire?
Puratronic™ nickel wire undergoes advanced refining to achieve 99.99% purity, reducing trace impurities that could affect experimental outcomes. Standard nickel wire typically has lower purity levels and may contain residual elements. 2
Can this wire be used for high-temperature applications?
Yes, nickel’s high melting point (1,455°C) and thermal stability make this wire suitable for elevated temperature environments, though prolonged exposure may require additional considerations. 3
Is the wire compatible with acidic or alkaline solutions?
While nickel offers good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to strong acids or alkalis may cause degradation. For such applications, pre-testing is recommended. 4
What alternatives exist for applications requiring higher conductivity?
Copper or silver wires offer superior electrical conductivity but lack nickel’s corrosion resistance. For a balance, nickel-plated copper wires can be considered. 5
How should unused wire be stored to maintain purity?
Store in a dry, sealed container away from moisture and reactive chemicals. Avoid contact with bare hands to prevent surface contamination.
