Nickel Nitrate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- nickel(II) Nitrate
- Nickelous Nitrate
- Nickel Dinitrate
Nickel nitrate supplier for electroplating, catalyst, battery precursor and industrial chemical buyers in Malaysia. Also written nickel(II) nitrate, nickelous nitrate or nickel dinitrate, it is almost always traded as nickel nitrate hexahydrate, Ni(NO3)2·6H2O.
The hexahydrate arrives as green crystals or crystalline chunks that are hygroscopic and readily soluble in water. Aqueous solution at a stated concentration is used where dosing or catalyst impregnation is simpler from a liquid. Grades run from technical crystals to tighter high-purity material.
Plating and metal-finishing shops take it as a soluble nickel source where the nitrate anion is specified. Catalyst manufacturers use it to impregnate supported hydrogenation and reforming catalysts, since the nitrate decomposes cleanly on calcination. Other buyers use it in battery cathode precursor routes, nickel salt manufacture and ceramic or glass colourants.
Send the required form or grade, assay or nickel content basis, impurity limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Nickel Nitrate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electroplating grade nickel nitrate hexahydrate | green crystals | — | Soluble nickel source for nickel plating and electroless nickel process chemistry, with assay and impurity limits matched to the bath specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Catalyst grade nickel nitrate hexahydrate | green crystals or crystalline chunks | — | Nickel precursor for impregnating supported hydrogenation and reforming catalysts, where nitrate decomposition on calcination is preferred to a sulphate or chloride residue. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Technical grade nickel nitrate | crystals or crystalline chunks | — | General industrial use including nickel salt intermediates, ceramic and glass colourants and process chemistry where a technical crystal grade meets the specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| High-purity nickel nitrate | crystals | — | Battery cathode precursor routes, electronic materials and analytical reagent work calling for tighter control of chloride, sulphate, iron, copper and cobalt than a technical grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Aqueous nickel nitrate solution | clear green aqueous solution | — | Dosing and impregnation duties where a stated solution concentration is preferred over dissolving crystals on site. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Nickel Nitrate applications
Safety and handling
Keep sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from combustible and reducing materials, and protect solid grades from moisture so they do not cake. Follow the safety information supplied for the quoted grade. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.
Common questions about nickel nitrate
Is nickel nitrate supplied as the hexahydrate?
Nickel nitrate is normally traded as the hexahydrate, Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, in green crystals or crystalline chunks. Aqueous solution at a stated concentration is also used where dosing or impregnation is easier from a liquid. State which form suits the process with your enquiry.
Which nickel nitrate grade suits catalyst preparation?
Catalyst work generally calls for a grade with controlled chloride and sulphate, because the nitrate decomposes on calcination and leaves nickel oxide on the support without a residual anion. Send the impurity limits and target nickel loading so the grade can be matched.
Is nickel nitrate the same as nickel sulphate?
No. They are different nickel salts and a different product in each case, because the anion changes bath chemistry and calcination behaviour. Order each salt by name and do not substitute one for the other without checking the process specification.
What specifications should a buyer provide for nickel nitrate?
State the form, hydration state, assay or nickel content basis, particle or lump size for solids, solution concentration where relevant, and limits for chloride, sulphate, iron, copper and cobalt. Naming the application helps match plating, catalyst or high-purity requirements.
How should nickel nitrate be stored?
Keep containers sealed in a cool, dry place away from combustible and reducing materials, because the solid is hygroscopic and will cake in humid air. Handle solutions to avoid spillage and cross-contamination, and follow the safety information supplied with the quoted grade.
What is needed for a nickel nitrate price enquiry?
Provide the grade, target specification, quantity and delivery location, plus any preferred pack format, documentation needs and timing. The quotation is then issued for the complete requirement with a stated validity period.
