Description

Tris(2-Methylpentyl)Aluminium is a highly reactive organoaluminium compound, specifically a trialkylaluminium, known for its role as a versatile catalyst and stoichiometric reagent. Its value lies in its ability to act as a potent alkylating agent and co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta and other transition metal-catalyzed polymerization systems. This chemical is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the olefin polymerization, specialty chemical synthesis, and fine chemical sectors, where precise control over molecular structure is critical.

Application

• As a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta type catalysts for the production of polyolefins like polyethylene and polypropylene.
• As an alkylating agent in organic synthesis for the introduction of the 2-methylpentyl group.
• As a stoichiometric reducing agent or hydride source in specific metallorganic reactions.
• In the synthesis of other organometallic complexes and catalysts.
• In the production of specialty polymers and elastomers with tailored properties.
• For research and development in advanced material science and catalytic processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, this product must be stored and handled under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen). Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as oxidizers, acids, and water. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
