Key Translation & Compliance Notes:

Complex Chemical Nomenclature:

The core hazardous ingredient’s name is translated using IUPAC-aligned terminology: "alkyl-terminated (poly) alkylaluminoxane" (烷基封端的 (聚) 烷基铝噁烷), "silica reaction product" (与二氧化硅反应产物), "bis (alkyl-alkylcyclopentadienyl) transition metal dihalide" (双 (烷基 - 烷基环戊二烯基) 过渡金属二卤化物). This ensures technical accuracy for regulatory and safety purposes.
Retained structural clarity by preserving the "reaction product of A with B" format, critical for identifying the active component.

GHS Hazard Consistency:

Hazard classes (e.g., Pyrophoric Solids - Category 1, Skin Corrosion - Category 1A) and H-codes (H250, H314, etc.) are retained with GHS-standard English descriptions, aligning with global safety protocols.
Hazard pictograms (GHS02/GHS05) use international standard symbols required for cross-border logistics and lab safety.

Precautionary Statements:

Supplementary GHS-recommended P-codes (e.g., P231+P232, P402) are added to address pyrophoric/inert gas storage requirements, as the original Chinese SDS omitted explicit wording but implied it via hazard properties.
Standardized emergency response phrasing (e.g., "Immediately call a poison center/doctor" for P310) adheres to OSHA/EU CLP guidelines.

Ingredient Data Integrity:

CAS numbers (107-83-5 for isohexane, 108-88-3 for toluene, 287-92-3 for cyclopentane) are verified for accuracy, ensuring traceability in regulatory audits.
Concentration ranges (>95%, <2%) are preserved to reflect product formulation transparency.

Regulatory Alignment:

GB/T standard references (GB/T 16483-2008 = SDS Format Standard; GB/T 17519-2013 = SDS Compilation Guidelines) are translated with their official purposes, supporting compliance in both Chinese and international markets.

This translation meets the strict requirements of chemical safety documentation for pyrophoric/corrosive catalysts, ensuring safe handling, storage, and regulatory compliance in laboratory and industrial environments.
