Quality Control

Our production of Dichlorobis(indenyl)zirconium(IV) adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, 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 and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

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