Metal alkyls

Metal alkyls and metalorganic substances can be highly reactive compounds. Many concentrated metal alkyls and aluminoxanes or their solutions are pyrophoric, meaning they ignite spontaneously upon exposure with air. In addition, metal alkyls and aluminoxanes can react violently with water.

However, metalorganics can be handled safely with the proper knowledge of handling techniques, carefully designed facilities and thorough training of personnel using written procedures. Properly trained personnel can give proper attention to these compounds in order to handle them confidently and safely.

Unique safety research laboratory
The safe handling and storage of organic peroxides and metal alkyls is only possible if the specific properties for these products are known. For this reason, we have a world-class research and development facility in Deventer, the Netherlands, where we perform extensive safety studies. Through vigorous testing and an in-depth knowledge of the products we manufacture, we can develop safer products and innovative packaging.
