Product Overview Table

Product Type	Description
Vale Nickel Powder Type 123	• High purity nickel powder (99.8%) • Spiky, needle-like morphology • Tight size distribution optimized for easy mixing • Manufactured by the nickel carbonyl gaseous refining process • CDN Grade: Fisher sub-sieve size 3.5- 4.0 µm • Premium Grade (UK): Fisher sub-sieve size 3.8- 7.0 µm • Used in powder metallurgical applications, as a metal binder for cutting tools, the manufacture of nickel catalysts and high purity nickel salts
Vale Nickel Powder Type 255	• High purity nickel powder (99.7%) • Has a fine, three-dimensional filamentary chain-like structure • Manufactured by the nickel carbonyl gaseous refining process • Uniform size distribution and density • Fisher sub-sieve size: 3.8- 7.0 µm • Used in the manufacture of sintered electrodes for nickel batteries, as a pigment for electrically conductive coatings, and in powder metallurgical applications.
Vale Nickel Powder CGNP	• High purity (99.8%) Chemical Grade Nickel Powder • Developed specifically for dissolving applications • Manufactured by the unique carbonyl gas refining process • Non-explosive and non-flammable • Low iron and sulphur content reduces the need to purify nickel product solutions
Novamet Type 525 Conductive Nickel Powder	• High purity filamentary powder designed for increase conductivity • Manufactured by the thermal decomposition of nickel carbonyl • Has a similar structure as Vale 255 but processed to have a higher density • Screened to removed large or agglomerated particles • Standard type 525: apparent density 1.00 g/cm³ • Low density type 525: apparent density 0.65 g/cm³
Novamet Spherical Nickel Powders	• High purity smooth spherical powders, engineered for high-performance applications • Achieves maximum packing density and low surface area • Available in four size grades: screened -400, and in three air-classified fractions, -10 µm, -20+10 µm, +20 µm • Type 4SP-10 ideal for metal injection moulding, where the narrow particle size and spherical shape of the particles give uniform distribution through moulded alloys
