ZrCl4
metal· ZrCl4
Zirconium tetrachloride (ZrCl₄) is an inorganic chloride compound of zirconium, classified as a metal halide rather than a structural metal. It functions primarily as a chemical precursor and reagent in industrial synthesis, particularly for producing high-purity zirconium metal, zirconia ceramics, and specialized coatings through chloride-based metallurgical processes. Engineers and chemists select ZrCl₄ over alternative zirconium sources when chloride-based reduction, vapor deposition, or sol-gel processing is advantageous—notably in production of zirconia refractories, nuclear-grade zirconium alloys, and advanced ceramic powders where purity and chemical control are critical.

Export Control
RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
