Quality Control

Our Bis(n-Butylcyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Dichloride is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for catalytic applications. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and absence of critical metallic impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) to prevent decomposition.
