Quality Control

Our Bis(Methylcyclopentadienyl)Titanium Dichloride is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis, to meet the exacting standards required for semiconductor and catalysis applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the product should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and protected from atmospheric moisture to prevent decomposition. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
