FAQs
What is the difference between Puratronic™ and regular nickel chloride?
Puratronic™ nickel chloride undergoes additional purification steps to achieve 99.9995% purity, making it suitable for applications where trace impurities would interfere with results. Regular grades typically contain higher levels of metals like iron, copper, and zinc.
Can this be used for electroplating?
Yes, this high-purity grade is excellent for electroplating as it minimizes impurities that could affect deposit quality or bath stability. Many industrial plating operations prefer Puratronic™ for critical applications.
What is the shelf life of nickel chloride hexahydrate?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed, it remains stable for at least 2 years. Avoid exposure to moisture to prevent caking.
Is this product suitable for food or pharmaceutical applications?
No, this is a laboratory-grade chemical not intended for food, drug, or cosmetic use. Always use chemicals specifically designated for those industries when required.
How should I dispose of unused nickel chloride?
Follow local regulations for heavy metal waste disposal. Typically, it should be collected by licensed hazardous waste handlers. Never pour down drains or discard with regular trash.
