Nickel on Alumina Catalyst from Japan
This supported catalyst consists of nickel compounds dispersed on an alumina carrier, optimized for industrial hydrogenation processes such as fat hardening in edible oil refining. Classified under HTS 3815.11.00.00 due to nickel as the active substance on a solid support. It accelerates reactions in petrochemical and food processing industries.

• Provide manufacturer specs confirming nickel loading percentage and support type to avoid reclassification
• Comply with TSCA registration for new chemical substances if not previously notified
• Check for spent catalyst status; active catalysts only qualify here, not waste
