Buyer decision

4N vs 4N5 high-purity aluminium: what to specify in your RFQ

4N denotes at least 99.99% aluminium; 4N5 denotes 99.995%. HUABO's documented 4N product data lists >=99.99% minimum purity and a typical batch value of 99.9936%. A target up to 4N5 or 99.995% may be submitted for project-specific feasibility review. State target purity and critical trace-element limits in the RFQ so chemistry, form, quantity, and documents can be checked together.

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 Project target: 99.995%

This is a project target only; purity, element limits, form, quantity, and documents require feasibility review.

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 a 4N5 target that still requires feasibility review.

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% 99.995% project target; confirm against the RFQ
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.

How is a 4N5 target reviewed by HUABO?

4N5 up to 99.995% is not a published standard grade. Buyers can submit target chemistry, critical elements, form, total quantity, application, and test scope for project-specific feasibility review.

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?

State 4N5 directly when the purchase specification requires 99.995%, when maximum trace-element limits are decisive, or when the grade must be confirmed explicitly in supplier documentation.

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.
