Description

Diethylaluminum Chloride is a highly reactive organoaluminum compound primarily used as a co-catalyst and alkylating agent. Its value lies in its ability to efficiently initiate and control polymerization reactions, making it a critical component in the production of advanced polymers and specialty chemicals. This chemical is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the petrochemical, polymer, and fine chemical synthesis sectors, where precise catalytic activity is required.

Application

• As a co-catalyst in Ziegler-Natta type catalysts for the production of polyolefins like polyethylene and polypropylene.
• As an alkylating agent in organic synthesis for the introduction of ethyl groups.
• As a key component in the synthesis of other organoaluminum compounds.
• In the production of linear α-olefins and synthetic lubricants.
• As a catalyst in the oligomerization and polymerization of various monomers.
• In specialized organic transformations requiring a strong Lewis acid.

Quality Control

Our Diethylaluminum Chloride is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under a dry, inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its pyrophoric and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept sealed and handled using appropriate inert techniques.
