Description

Bis(Ethylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is a highly versatile organometallic compound, primarily valued as a key precursor in advanced materials synthesis and catalysis. Its significance lies in its role as a catalyst component for olefin polymerization and as a volatile source for depositing zirconium-containing thin films. This product is essential for R&D and production teams in the petrochemical, semiconductor, and specialty polymer industries seeking to develop high-performance materials.

Application

• As a catalyst precursor in the polymerization of ethylene and propylene, often in combination with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or other activators.
• As a volatile source material (precursor) for the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) of zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) films in semiconductor manufacturing.
• As a research chemical in organometallic chemistry for synthesizing novel zirconium complexes and studying reaction mechanisms.
• In the development of advanced ceramic materials and coatings where zirconium incorporation enhances thermal and chemical stability.
• As a potential component in Ziegler-Natta type catalyst systems for producing polyolefins with specific microstructures.

Quality Control

Our Bis(Ethylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including spectroscopic and chromatographic analysis, to meet stringent specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent moisture degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
