Description

Hydrodioctylaluminium is a versatile organoaluminium compound widely used as a catalyst and reagent in advanced chemical synthesis. Its primary commercial value lies in its role as a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta type polymerizations and as an alkylating agent in fine chemical production. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, specialty chemical, and pharmaceutical intermediate sectors seeking efficient and selective alkylation or polymerization processes.

Application

• As a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta catalyst systems for the production of polyolefins like polyethylene and polypropylene.
• As an alkylating agent in organic synthesis for the introduction of octyl groups.
• As a key reagent in the synthesis of specialty organometallic compounds and fine chemicals.
• In the production of linear α-olefins and other higher olefins via oligomerization reactions.
• For the activation of catalysts in various transition metal-catalyzed reactions.
• In research and development for exploring new catalytic pathways and material science applications.

Quality Control

Our Hydrodioctylaluminium is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. The product undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling, to meet the exacting standards required for catalytic and synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and pyrophoric nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Containers must be kept tightly sealed and clearly labeled.
