## Material selection guide

Start with the material identity and process, then check the details on the proposed datasheet.

**Metal & supplied form**

Specify the element and whether the requirement is bare powder, flake or another morphology. A supported catalyst is a different product.

**Size & surface**

Describe particle distribution, morphology, surface treatment and the dispersion or paste process where relevant.

**Evidence & commercial basis**

Clarify the assay method, sample quantity, metal-content basis and requested documents. Price and availability need a current material-specific quotation.

## Before you choose

**Can a supported precious-metal catalyst substitute for bare metal powder?**

No. The carrier, loading and supplied state change the product. Define whether you require the elemental powder or a supported catalyst before comparing sources.

**What does this directory cover?**

Bullion, jewelry, metal salts and supported catalysts are not bare precious-metal powder entries. Supplier price is not a standing Nike quotation.

## What to include in your request

A material name or reference datasheet is enough to start. Add any requirements you already know.

- Element, assay basis and impurity limits
- Particle size, shape and surface condition
- Application and evaluation quantity
- Metal-content, documentation and quotation basis

### Quantity, samples and documents

Nike has no fixed minimum order. Tell us the quantity you need; we’ll check supplier pack sizes and any minimums.

We’ll check the proposed grade, sample options, delivery timing and available batch documents. Include any essential COA, TDS or SDS requirements.
