Quality Control

Our Dimethylbis(Indenyl)Zirconium is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C to maintain stability. This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, it must be handled in a controlled, dry environment using appropriate inert gas techniques.
