Quality Control

Our Bis(n-Octylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and catalytic applications. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to verify identity and composition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific lot results is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

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 strong oxidizing agents.
