Description

Bis(2,4-Cyclopentadien-1-Yl)[(4-Methylbicyclo[2.2.1]Heptane-2,3-Diyl)-Methylene]Titanium is a highly specialized organometallic compound belonging to the class of constrained geometry catalysts (CGCs). This compound matters for its role as a single-site catalyst precursor, enabling the precise polymerization of olefins to create polymers with superior mechanical properties and controlled molecular architectures. It is primarily needed by advanced polymer R&D laboratories and specialty chemical manufacturers focused on developing next-generation polyolefins, elastomers, and engineered plastics.

Application

• Single-Site Catalyst for Polyolefin Production: As a key component in catalyst systems for the polymerization of ethylene, propylene, and higher α-olefins.
• Development of Metallocene Polyethylene (mPE) and Polypropylene (mPP): Enables the synthesis of polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution, enhanced toughness, and improved optical clarity.
• Synthesis of Specialty Elastomers and Plastomers: Used in the production of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) rubbers and very low-density polyethylene (VLDPE) with specific comonomer incorporation.
• Advanced Material Research: Serves as a precursor in academic and industrial research for studying structure-activity relationships in olefin polymerization catalysis.
• Tailored Polymer Architectures: Facilitates the creation of block copolymers and other complex polymer structures through controlled polymerization techniques.

Quality Control

Our organometallic catalysts undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and catalytic performance. Production adheres to strict ISO 9001 quality management standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each batch, detailing key parameters such as purity, metal content, and spectroscopic identity to support your process validation and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. This compound is both hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, it must be handled exclusively in a controlled, dry, and oxygen-free environment. Long-term stability is maximized when stored in a freezer at -20°C under inert gas.
