What is a Nickel sulfamate?

Nickel sulfamate, with the chemical formula Ni(SO₃NH₂)₂, is an inorganic compound that appears as a light green crystal or aqueous solution, and it is highly soluble in water. Its most prominent use is in electrolytic nickel plating, where it serves as an efficient nickel source for producing high-quality, low-stress, and uniform nickel coatings. It is especially useful for precision components, electronics, and decorative plating.

Compared to other nickel salts such as nickel sulfate, nickel sulfamate provides lower internal stress in plated layers and is suitable for thick deposits. It is chemically stable at high concentrations and allows for easier pH control, making it widely favored in industrial plating baths. As with all nickel compounds, it may pose risks such as skin sensitization or toxicity, so proper handling, protective equipment, and waste management are essential.
