Quality Control

Our tert-Butylcyclopentadienylzirkoniumtrichlorid is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, essential for catalytic performance. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including NMR, elemental analysis, and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and R&D documentation.

Storage

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