Description

Zinc Hexafluoroacetylacetonate Dihydrate is a high-purity organometallic compound primarily used as a precursor in advanced material synthesis. Its value lies in its role as a volatile zinc source for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) processes, enabling the creation of uniform, high-performance thin films. This material is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the semiconductor, optical coating, and nanotechnology sectors seeking precise and reliable metal-organic precursors.

Application

• Precursor for Zinc Oxide (ZnO) thin film deposition via CVD and ALD for transparent conductive oxides.
• Key starting material in the synthesis of advanced nanomaterials and catalysts with tailored surface properties.
• Used in research and development of specialty polymers and coordination complexes.
• Essential for depositing functional layers in optoelectronic devices, such as sensors and LEDs.
• Employed in the fabrication of protective and anti-reflective coatings on optical components.
• Potential use as a dopant source in the manufacturing of specialized ceramics and glasses.

Quality Control

Our Zinc Hexafluoroacetylacetonate Dihydrate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, suitable for sensitive deposition processes. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, metal content, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant industry standards and can provide material tailored to specific customer requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
