A long history
We have a long history in metal alkyls,
starting with large scale productionof aluminum alkyls in 1959. Today
we are one of the leading global
producers of these products with abroad range of metal organics basedon aluminum, zinc, magnesium,gallium, indium and boron, which
are supplied to the polymer,
pharmaceutical and semiconductor
industry.

MO-sources
Nouryon high purity metalorganics
division was created in 2000 in order
to better serve the semiconductor
industry.
This allows us to focus on the specificneeds of this market while leveraging
our global distribution and service
networks, manufacturing scale andexpertise, global R&D, and expertisein safe handling of metalorganics.
As such, we excel in safety, quality,consistency and innovation.
We focus on the production ofhigh purity MOsources based on
indium, gallium, aluminum, zincand magnesium. These products
have >99.999% purity and are soldin electropolished stainless steel
bubblers to the semiconductor
industry. We have grown over thepast decade to become one of theleading suppliers of these chemicals.
Our products are used in a huge
range of industrial and consumer
products. These include LED lighting,solar cells, lasers and many otherelectronic devices.
World-scale production andbackward integration
Our La Porte, Texas manufacturingsite was the first to produce trimethyl
gallium in 1971, and has since thenbeen expanded significantly toproduce a wide range of MO-sourcesin dedicated production equipment.
Owing to our vast knowledge ofthe safe and efficient productionof metalorganics for the polymer
industry, we produce our high purity
MO-sources at relatively large scale,ensuring high purity and excellent
product consistency.

We also operate a world-scale
trimethyl aluminum (TMAl) plant,
making us the only high purity
metalorganics producer fully
back-integrated into this important
raw material. We use leading edgetransfilling techniques that ensure therepeatable and consistent delivery of
the highest purity metalorganics inevery cylinder that we supply.
Our La Porte site is an OSHA VPP
Star site, and is ISO 9001 and
14001 certified, recognizing strict
compliance with environmental
regulations and adherence to stateof-the-art quality systems.
Our products are distributed globallyusing regional transfilling and/or
warehousing distribution centers,
ensuring close proximity to ourcustomers.
Innovation
We are committed to support thecontinued steep growth of theindustries we serve by supplying thegrowing volumes of MO-sources
required, building on the advantagesof integration in our overall largescale metalorganics production
environment.
Our bench mark bubbler designs
provide enhanced and stabledelivery of our products. Meeting
the growing volume demands weoffer various larger bubbler types,
including support to central delivery
systems building on our experiencein the supply of bulk high purity
metalorganics to the solar cellindustry.

Our products
Our range of products to the compound semiconductor and Si-semiconductor industry includes ultra-high purity
gallium-, indium-, aluminum-, magnesium- and zinc-based MO-sources.

Cylinder and equipment offerings
Nouryon metalorganic cylinders are designed andmanufactured to the highest standards in industrial
semiconductor manufacturing technologies:

For delivery of TMIn we have developed the Hiperquadbubblers, which offer the following benefits:• Unique stability of the TMIn flow-rate and MOconcentration during the entire lifetime of the bubbler• Complete utilization of the TMIn source up to 98%• Semiconductor industry compatible cleaning,
regeneration and handling• Interior surface is electro-polished• Constant and consistent wall thickness which leads todefined thermal transfer• Optional purging valve configurations

Your Safety Is
Our Priority
Nouryon’s success in safely handling Metal Organics(MO) is due to our long-term commitment to safety.
Knowledge of proper handling techniques, carefully
designed facilities and thorough training of personnel
can overcome the hazards. Personnel who understandand pay proper attention will be able to handle metalorganics confidently and safely.

Safety and handling
Our MO-sources like TMAl, TMGa
and TMln ignites upon exposure to airand reacts violently with water. They
must be handled under a dry, inert
atmosphere, e.g. nitrogen or argon.
TMAl may undergo exothermicdecomposition with evolution of
flammable gas if heated above
120°C (248°F). The decomposition
may become self-accelerating
and UNCONTROLLABLE and may
result in an explosion. Water mustbe scrupulously removed fromprocess equipment prior to putting
it into metal alkyls service. Failure
to do so may result in an explosion.
MO-sources causes severe burns tothe skin and eyes. It is imperative thatproper personal protective equipment
be worn when handling MO’s.

Storage
MO sourches are stable when stored
under a dry, inert atmosphere andaway from heat. MO’s may undergo
violent exothermic decomposition
with flammable gas evolution if
stored at too high temperatures.
Metal alkys should, in general, be kept
6-12°C above their melting point.
For example, in case of solidified
TMAl (melting point 15°C) place thecontainer for at least 16 hours in atemperature controlled room at 2535°C until the product is completelyliquified.

Safety services
Nouryon is recognized as a global
leader in metal alkyl safety. We
always place safety as our top priority.
Sharing our experience in safety isone of the most important resources
we offer. Through our safety
programs we can provide expert
advice on the handling of thesematerials including:• classroom review of safety andhandling of metal alkyls• consultation of metal alkyl facility
design• demonstrations on the safe use,
handling and control ofmetal alkyls• demonstrations on the safe
connecting and deconnecting ofcylinders• on-site assistance and advice
regarding procedures
