Description

Chromium (III) Isopropoxide is a versatile organometallic compound widely used as a precursor in advanced materials synthesis. This chemical is critical for producing high-purity chromium oxide coatings and nanoparticles with controlled properties. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the ceramics, catalysis, and electronics industries seeking reliable, high-quality metal-organic sources.

Application

• Sol-Gel Processing: A key precursor for depositing thin films of chromium oxide (Cr2O3) via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or atomic layer deposition (ALD) for optical and protective coatings.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Used in the preparation of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for organic transformations, including polymerization and oxidation reactions.
• Ceramic & Glass Manufacturing: Serves as a doping agent to impart specific colorations (green) and modify the physical properties of specialty glasses and advanced ceramics.
• Nanomaterial Production: Acts as a starting material for the synthesis of chromium-based nanoparticles and nanocomposites with applications in sensors and magnetic materials.
• Polymer Additives: Employed as a cross-linking agent or modifier in the production of specialized polymers to enhance thermal stability and mechanical strength.
• Research & Development: A fundamental reagent in academic and industrial labs for exploring new materials chemistry and developing novel inorganic-organic hybrid materials.

Quality Control

Our Chromium (III) Isopropoxide is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, metal content analysis, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture and oxygen.
