Description

Diethyl Aluminum Fluoride is a highly reactive organoaluminum compound primarily used as a catalyst and reagent in advanced chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its unique ability to act as a potent Lewis acid and fluorinating agent, enabling critical transformations in polymer and fine chemical manufacturing. This material is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial-scale producers in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty polymer sectors seeking precise and efficient catalytic systems.

Application

• As a co-catalyst component in Ziegler-Natta type polymerization systems for olefins.
• As a key reagent in the synthesis of organofluorine compounds and fluorinated intermediates.
• As a Lewis acid catalyst in Friedel-Crafts alkylation and acylation reactions.
• In the production of specialty aluminum-containing chemicals and metalorganic precursors.
• For research and development in advanced material science and catalytic process optimization.

Quality Control

Our Diethyl Aluminum Fluoride is manufactured under stringent controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high reactivity. Quality is verified through a comprehensive suite of analytical techniques, including titration and spectroscopic methods, to confirm purity and compositional integrity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all critical parameters is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored under a dry, inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers, acids, and water.
