Description
Dichloro[rac-ethylenebis(indenyl)]zirconium(IV) is a well-known catalyst, primarily used in the field of polymer chemistry. It serves as a pivotal catalyst component in the polymerization of olefins, playing an essential role in the development of metallocene type catalysts. Commonly activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), this catalyst system facilitates the production of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), isotactic polypropylene, and other advanced polyolefins with tailored molecular architectures. These catalysts are highly valued in the chemical industry for their efficiency and effectiveness in initiating and controlling polymerization processes, enabling the production of a wide range of polymers with precise properties tailored to various applications.
