T255™ is a high purity nickel powder with a fine, three-dimensional filamentary ("chain-like") structure. T255™ is produced by a unique carbonyl gas refining process at the Clydach Nickel Refinery in the UK.

T255™ is recognized as an industry standard feed for the production of sintered rechargeable battery electrodes:

• Sinters readily to form a conductive, open porosity network

• Uniform size distribution and density results in controlled porosity in sintered electrodes and other porous structures

• Porosity-strength relationship of sintered T255™ is well understood, enabling tailoring of porous structure

T255™ is widely used as a conductive additive in:

• Batteries and fuel cells

• Pigments in coatings, especially for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding applications

• Polymers for electronic applications to provide electrical conductivity

T255™ is also used in powder metallurgical applications, as the filamentary structure can be broken down into fine primary particles.

T255™ is produced in compliance with the following ISO standards: ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007.
