Quality Control

Our Bis(tert-Butylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, elemental analysis, and purity assays. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
