APPLICATIONS
Nickel (II) Octoate is used to prepare nickel based catalysts using niobia modified silica as support.
Nickel Octoate is also used as a catalyst and involved in the treatment of qaiyarah heavy crude oil, petrolene using ethanol as a solvent and reductant.
Also, Nickel Octoate can be used as a catalyst in high-grade printing inks and as a grinding dispersant for coating applications.
Nickel Octoate is Used as a catalyst in rubber manufacturing.
Nickel Octoate is Ziegler-Natta catalyst.
In addition, Nickel Octoate is Hydrogenation Catalysts.
Nickel Octoate is Used as catalyst in top-grade printing ink.
Nickel Octoate is one of the ethylhexanoates.
Ethylhexanoates are carboxylates with many commercial applications.
They are commonly used in various catalysts for oxidation, hydrogenation and polymerization and as an adhesion promoter.
Nickel Octoate is generally immediately available in most volumes.
Ultra high purity and high purity forms may be considered.

DESCRIPTION
Nickel Octoate is a Nickel source that is soluble in organic solvents as an organometallic compound (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic Organo-Metallic Packaging, Lab Quantitycompounds).
Nickel Octoate is generally immediately available in most volumes.
Ultra high purity and high purity forms may be considered.
Nickel Octoate is one of numerous organo-metallic compounds (also known as metalorganic, organo-inorganic and metallo-organic compounds) sold by American Elements under the trade name AE Organo-Metallics™ for uses requiring non-aqueous solubility such as recent solar energy and water treatment applications.
Similar results can sometimes also be achieved with Nanoparticles and by thin film deposition.
Nickel Octoate is otherwise known as nickel 2-ethylhexanoate.
Nickel Octoate appears as a clear, green liquid.
Synthesis of Nickel Octoate
A mixture of 50 grams (0.852 mole) of powdered nickel (particle size 3 to 7 microns), 250 grams (1.724 moles) of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (acid number, 387), a catalyst solution prepared by dissolving 10 grams of sodium nitrate in 25 grams of water, and 170 grams of mineral spirits was agitated and heated to 95° C.
The reaction mixture was maintained at 90°-95° C for 16 hours while it was sparged with air at the rate of 30 liters per hour.
It was then heated to 135° C under vacuum to remove water from it.
After the reaction product had been filtered and diluted with mineral spirits, there was obtained a solution of nickel octoate in mineral spirits that contained 10% by weight of nickel and had an acid number of 39.
