Product Name – Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate, Puratronic™, 99.999% (metals basis) Quantity/Pack Size – 25g, 5g Form – Crystalline solid (tetrahydrate) Grade – Puratronic™ (99.999% metals basis) Application – Trace analysis, catalysis, electroplating, precursor synthesis
Product Overview
Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate in Puratronic™ grade represents the pinnacle of metal salt purity, offering 99.999% metals basis certification to eliminate interference in high-sensitivity applications. This tetrahydrated crystalline compound delivers exceptional solubility in water and polar organic solvents, ensuring consistent performance in solution-phase reactions. The ultra-low trace metal impurities (typically <10 ppm combined) make it indispensable for advanced materials research, where even ppb-level contaminants can compromise results. Unlike technical-grade alternatives, this material undergoes rigorous ICP-OES and ICP-MS validation to guarantee its specified purity profile. The tetrahydrate form provides enhanced stability during storage while maintaining rapid dissolution kinetics when introduced to aqueous systems. Its controlled particle size distribution further optimizes handling characteristics for both manual and automated dispensing systems. The compound's thermal decomposition pathway has been precisely characterized, allowing for predictable behavior in pyrolysis and calcination processes. As a Puratronic™ product, it meets the exacting standards required for semiconductor fabrication support, high-purity catalyst preparation, and as a precursor for nickel-containing nanomaterials where absolute compositional control is non-negotiable.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between Puratronic™ and standard reagent-grade nickel acetate?
The Puratronic™ grade undergoes additional purification steps including sublimation and zone refining to achieve 99.999% metals basis purity, compared to typical reagent grades at 98-99%. This eliminates virtually all trace metal contaminants that could interfere with sensitive applications.
2. Can this product be used directly in electrochemical deposition processes?
Yes, the ultra-high purity makes it suitable for electrochemical applications, though you may need to adjust the pH and add supporting electrolytes depending on your specific deposition requirements and desired film properties.
3. What is the typical moisture content for this tetrahydrate form?
The tetrahydrate form contains approximately 36-38% water by weight when properly stored, corresponding to the four molecules of crystallization water in the chemical structure.
4. How should this be stored to maintain its purity specifications?
Store in the original container with the desiccant pack at 15-25°C, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated exposure to air during use to prevent hydration changes or potential carbon dioxide absorption.
5. What documentation is provided with this product?
Each batch includes a certificate of analysis detailing the actual purity values, trace metal analysis (ICP-OES/MS data), and physical properties verification, along with recommended handling and storage protocols.
