Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Methylindenyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Quality is verified through advanced analytical techniques including NMR, elemental analysis, and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from incompatible materials.
