Quality Control

Our Bis(Isopropylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to confirm identity and purity. A 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
