Quality Control

Our Bis(Cyclopentadienyl)Zirconium Chloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including assay and impurity profile analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
