NiMax Nickel Tablets

Product Description

Hunter Chemical’s NiMax Tablets are a quick and simple method of adding nickel to a HDG kettle.  NiMax is unique because the particle size of the nickel powder contained within the tablet falls within a controlled range leading to a more efficient use of nickel.  

NiMax Tablet OH902S

► Made from Hunter’s Nickel Powder Grade OH902S which has a particle size range of 90% min. passing through 80 mesh and retained on 200 mesh, a size commonly used in the HDG industry for years.  Surface area of the nickel contained is 0.11 m²/g.

► Add 3 NiMax OH902S tablets per 2,200 lb Zn ingot in order to maintain industry standard 0.05% Ni content in the kettle.

NiMax Tablet OH903

► Made from Hunter’s Nickel Powder Grade OH903 which has a very fine particle size range of 95% min. passing through 325 mesh.  Surface area of the nickel contained is 0.39 m²/g.  Since heat transfer mainly occurs at an object’s surface, greater surface area of Ni is key to efficient Ni usage.

► Add 3 NiMax OH903 tablets per 2,200 lb Zn ingot initially.  Adjust add rate downward to account for greater Ni efficiency, maintaining acceptable Ni content.
