Zirconium tetranitrate is an inorganic compound composed of zirconium and nitrate ions, primarily used in ceramics, pigments, and as a precursor for zirconium-based materials in advanced manufacturing. It also serves as a crosslinker in hydraulic fracturing fluids, a glass pre-coating in cathode-ray tube production, and a laboratory reagent and preservative. It appears as a hygroscopic solid with high reactivity, often employed in specialized chemical synthesis and surface treatments. This product has a CAS number of 13746-89-9, with the molecular formula Zr(NO₃)₄ and a molecular weight of 339.24 g/mol. It is stored at ambient conditions but requires careful handling due to its hazardous nature, marked with a **Danger** signal word. Molekula supplies zirconium tetranitrate from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
