Product Applications

Electronics: ferrites, varistors, thermistors

The consistent properties of the two grades of Black Nickel Oxide means they are widely used in production of electronic materials such as mixed oxide ferrites, varistors and thermistors.

Glass colorants, Ni salts & catalysts

The unique combination of high surface area, fine particle size and high chemical purity leads to applications in high quality pigments for glass and ceramics. Can also be used for dissolving into high purity nickel salts and catalysts.

Surface Area = Reactivity

The very high BET surface area of Black Nickel Oxide, typically 60 - 100 m2 /g ensures very high reactivity in a variety of applications.
