Quality Control

Our Bis(1-Ethyl-2-Methylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, elemental analysis, and chromatography, to verify identity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality parameters are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the material should be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
