Description
Nickel(II) Acetate Tetrahydrate Product Overview
Nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate (Ni(CH3COO)2·4H2O) is a green crystalline powder with a faint acetic odor. It dissolves in water and, unlike chloride and sulfate salts, introduces no strongly corrosive anions.
Anodizing plants use nickel acetate baths for hot sealing of anodized aluminum, because nickel deposits in the pores and improves corrosion resistance and dye fastness. Similarly, metal finishers use it in some electroplating baths, and catalyst and battery researchers use it as a clean nickel source for oxides, hydroxides and cathode precursors.
Because nickel compounds count in the EU as carcinogenic and sensitizing, Zyntex supplies nickel acetate only for professional use. Related nickel salts in our range also include Nickel(II) chloride anhydrous, Nickel(II) fluoride 4-hydrate and Nickel Sulfate.

🔩 Anodizing
Hot sealing of anodized aluminum.
⚡ Electroplating
Nickel source for special plating baths.
⚗️ Catalysts

Frequently Asked Questions
How does nickel acetate sealing work?
During hot sealing, nickel compounds deposit in the pores of the anodic oxide, which improves corrosion resistance and dye fastness.
How does nickel acetate differ from nickel fluoride sealing?
Nickel acetate works in hot sealing baths, whereas nickel fluoride allows cold sealing at room temperature.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
