Buyer decision

4N vs 4N5: how industrial buyers should position documented 4N data and deliverable 4N5

HUABO publishes 4N with a minimum purity of >=99.99% and typical batches around 99.9936%. If your specification goes higher, HUABO can also supply 4N5 up to 99.995%. The technical basis is extended secondary segregation combined with tighter alignment on trace elements, form, and supporting documents.

4N documented Typical 99.9936% 4N5 up to 99.995% Secondary segregation
Precision small parts and guide pins made from high-purity aluminium as an example of tighter project requirements
High-purity product forms for applications where 4N5, geometry, and process fit are reviewed together.
4N Published batch data

4N is HUABO's publicly documented product page with visible batch data and a clear RFQ starting point.

4N5 Available up to 99.995%

If the application or specification requires it, HUABO can also supply 4N5 and align the technical details cleanly.

99.9936% Typical 4N batch value

This is the published 4N batch value on the HUABO site and the practical starting point for technical review.

RFQ context What the supplier needs

The tighter the purity target, the more important the application, critical trace elements, form factor, and document needs become in the RFQ.

Decision logic

When 4N is enough and when 4N5 should be requested directly

This is not a branding distinction. It is a decision about documented data, application risk, and the target purity your internal approval truly requires.

When 4N is typically enough

  • You need a clearly documented high-purity grade with published batch data and RFQ-ready supporting evidence.
  • Your internal specification can be reviewed against the published 4N chemistry and purity window.
  • RoHS, ISO, CoA, and process evidence are enough for supplier review and technical approval.
  • You want to qualify the supplier first before discussing a tighter purity target.

Direct comparison

4N and 4N5 from the point of view of sourcing, quality, and engineering

The table below does not replace technical approval, but it helps teams separate documented 4N data from deliverable 4N5.

Topic 4N 4N5
Role on the website Documented product page with published batch data Available up to 99.995% when customer requirements call for it
Published data >=99.99% minimum purity, typical 99.9936% Up to 99.995% via extended secondary segregation
Typical use case When published high-purity data is sufficient for supplier review and standard RFQ work When the application or internal specification requires a tighter impurity window
What the RFQ should state Grade, quantity, form, lead time, required evidence Target purity, critical trace elements, application, form factor, packaging, qualification needs

FAQ on 4N and 4N5

Common questions before an RFQ or supplier call

These answers are written so sourcing, quality, and engineering can use the same language internally.

Can HUABO supply 4N5?

Yes. HUABO can supply 4N5 up to 99.995% when the application or specification requires it. The 4N product page publishes >=99.99% as the minimum purity and 99.9936% as the typical batch value; 4N5 can also be aligned technically and commercially beyond that.

What typical batch value is published for 4N?

The 4N product page publishes 99.9936% aluminium as the typical batch value. The minimum purity is listed as >=99.99%.

When should a team raise 4N5 directly?

When the application has tighter impurity thresholds, semiconductor, optics, sputtering, or electronics requirements, or an explicit approval target up to 99.995%.

What should an RFQ include for 4N5-like requirements?

A strong RFQ should state target purity, critical trace elements, intended application, required documents, form factor, packaging, and project timing.
