Quality Control

Our (Dimethylsilylene)Bis(2-Methyl-4-Phenylindenyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and activity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key specifications are provided to support your quality assurance and R&D processes.

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 (refrigerated) to maintain stability. This material is both moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be kept sealed and handled in a dry, inert environment to prevent decomposition.
