Description

Vanadium(V) Trichloride Oxide (VOCl3) is a versatile and highly reactive inorganic compound that serves as a critical precursor in advanced materials synthesis and catalysis. Its value lies in its ability to act as a potent source of vanadium and chlorine, enabling precise chemical modifications and the creation of high-performance materials. This product is essential for research and development laboratories, chemical manufacturers, and industrial facilities operating in the fields of specialty polymers, electronics, and inorganic synthesis.

Application

• Catalyst Precursor: A key starting material for synthesizing Ziegler-Natta and other vanadium-based catalysts used in olefin polymerization (e.g., ethylene-propylene rubber).
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD): Serves as a volatile vanadium source for depositing thin films of vanadium oxides (VOx) on substrates for electrochromic devices, sensors, and optical coatings.
• Organic Synthesis & Reagent: Employed as a chlorinating and oxidizing agent in the synthesis of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Inorganic Material Synthesis: Used to prepare other vanadium halides, oxyhalides, and complex inorganic compounds for research and industrial applications.
• Specialty Polymer Additive: Functions as a flame retardant synergist or a cross-linking agent in specific high-performance polymer formulations.
• Surface Treatment: Applied in the surface modification of metals and other materials to enhance corrosion resistance or adhesion properties.

Quality Control

Our Vanadium(V) Trichloride Oxide is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including assay, impurity profiling, and physical characterization. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific results for each lot is provided to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. Recommended storage temperature: 2°C to 8°C.
