<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>Zirconium(IV) chloride is a key inorganic precursor produced via chlorination of zirconia or carbon tetrachloride reaction. Its molecular formula is <strong>ZrCl4</strong> (CAS: 10026-09-0), appearing as white to yellow crystalline powder.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li>Catalyst production for olefin polymerization.</li>
<li>Synthesis of high-purity zirconium metal and ceramics.</li>
<li>Manufacture of zirconium-based organometallic complexes.</li>
<li>Coating agent for optical fibers and glass surfaces.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Strictly store in airtight containers under inert atmosphere due to hydrolysis risk. Use PPE including goggles and gloves; avoid inhalation of dust. Not approved for clinical use.</p>
