Quality Control

Our Aluminum Methyl Dichloride is manufactured under stringent quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, chloride content, and impurity profiles. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous demands of catalyst and fine chemical synthesis applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, strong bases, and oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept sealed and handled under inert conditions to prevent decomposition.
