Nickel Wire 99.98+% — Trade Inquiries
Trade inquiries for high-purity nickel wire used in battery tabs, thermocouples, resistance heating, vacuum lead-ins, mesh and electroplating anodes. State diameter, temper, purity and quantity — availability and specification are confirmed for your lot in writing.
- Purity grades from 99.5% to 99.999%, Nickel 200/201 feedstock
- Bonded storage at Zurich Airport — no duties or VAT in bond
- Lot documentation and analysis scope confirmed in writing, case by case
- Written reply from a specialist, usually within one business day
How we proceed
- You send a written inquiry — company, phone number, quantity, grade or specification, application.
- We screen it: business to business only. Incomplete or irrelevant inquiries are not forwarded — too many frauds, too much wasted time. We are deliberately selective: a handful of serious B2B inquiries matters more to us than volume.
- Relevant inquiries go directly to the operating company holding the material in custody — no brokers, direct to direct.
- You receive a written answer, usually within one business day.
- If your inquiry passes screening and is of interest, we phone you directly to take it forward — qualified buyers get a call, not a form letter.
Send a written inquiry
Serious trade inquiries only. Write from your company address and state diameter, temper, purity and quantity.
Nickel wire we supply
Diameter, temper, surface and purity are specified per order. If your drawing calls for a tolerance class or a specific temper, send it and we confirm feasibility in writing.

High-security bonded storage — Zurich Airport
Stock is held in high-security warehouses inside the free-trade zone at Zurich Airport, under customs supervision and monitored by dedicated security personnel. No import duties or VAT are charged while material stays in bond, access can be arranged by appointment, and quantities are not a constraint.
Logistics — air, sea, land and express
Located directly at the airport, spools and coils are checked in and dispatched quickly. Air freight, overseas shipping, land transport and express deliveries are organised in-house, and palletised cargo is handled on site.
Documentation
Lot documentation — certificate of analysis, custody and inspection paperwork, safety data sheet and customs documents — exists for the material, and the exact scope that applies to your lot is confirmed in writing. Nothing is published here and nothing is sent at first contact; documents are shared after screening, company to company, under confidentiality.
Diameter, temper and surface
State the diameter, temper, surface condition and tolerance class your drawing calls for, together with spool or coil requirements. Feasibility against your specification is confirmed in writing rather than assumed.
How we work
- You send a written inquiry with diameter, temper, purity, quantity and application.
- A specialist checks availability in bond and replies in writing with specification and documentation.
- You confirm; we prepare spooling, documents and the shipping route that suits your customs situation.
Documentation & custody proof
Every lot is backed by a complete documentation package held by the operating company: a non-negotiable safekeeping receipt and custody confirmation issued jointly with a bank and an independent inspection body, full lot identification with quantity and storage location, an independent laboratory certificate of analysis for the lot (for copper powder, depending on grade, in the 5N5–6N range), a technical evaluation of the material, and the legal existence documents of the holding company.
These documents are not published and are never sent on first contact. Once your inquiry has passed screening, the relevant documents are shared directly, company to company, under confidentiality.
Business to business only — every inquiry is screened
This site is run by a filtering company, not a broker. The material is held under custody by the operating company we work with, and we forward only complete, relevant business inquiries directly to that company — no brokers, no intermediaries, direct to direct. If an inquiry is not relevant or is missing essential information, it is not forwarded. Too many frauds, too much wasted time: the screening exists so that serious buyers get a serious answer.
Frequently asked questions
- Which diameters can I ask for?
- Nickel wire is drawn from fine filament of a few hundredths of a millimetre up to several millimetres. State the diameter and tolerance you need and feasibility is confirmed in writing.
- Which purity should I ask for?
- 99.5% and 99.9% cover general engineering and plating anodes; 99.98% (Nickel 200/201) is the standard for battery tabs, thermocouple legs and vacuum parts; 99.99% and above serve evaporation sources and analytical work.
- What does nickel wire 99.98% cost per kg?
- Price per kg depends on diameter, temper, spool size and quantity — very fine filament carries more drawing work than coarse wire. State diameter and quantity in your inquiry and you receive a written, lot-specific price. Material held in bonded storage at Zurich Airport is quoted duty and VAT unpaid while it remains in bond.
- Do I pay import duties or VAT?
- Not while the material remains in bonded storage. Duties and VAT become due only when goods are cleared into free circulation in the destination country, so the customs position depends on your delivery terms.
- Can you weld-test or match a drawing?
- Send the drawing or your internal specification. We confirm in writing whether stock or a production lot meets diameter, tolerance, temper and surface requirements.
- Can I call you?
- Inquiries start in writing — there is no phone desk at intake, and it keeps specifications and commitments documented for both sides. Once an inquiry passes screening and is of interest, we call the qualified buyer directly. A specialist normally replies within one business day.
- What quantities do you handle?
- From a single trial spool to recurring tonnage call-offs reserved in bonded storage.

Copper powder and nickel wire are our focus, but we also handle inquiries for other high-purity metals and materials through the companies we work with. Send your request with material, specification and quantity: we screen it the same way and, if it is relevant, forward it direct to the operating company holding the material — no brokers, direct to direct.
