Quality Control

Our Dichlorobis(indenyl)titanium(IV) is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials.
