Product Description

Product Introduction

Titanium Tetraisopropanolate (CAS 546-68-9), commonly known as TTIP or Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide, is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a sharp, alcohol-like odor. It is a highly reactive metal alkoxide that reacts rapidly with water to form titanium dioxide (TiO2). Titanium Tetraisopropanolate (CAS 546-68-9) is a key reagent in modern chemistry, serving as a powerful Lewis acid catalyst and a fundamental building block in material science. Its ability to undergo controlled hydrolysis and polycondensation makes it the preferred precursor for creating nanostructured titanium materials and high-performance thin films.

Product Selling Points

  • High Reactivity: Efficiently facilitates esterification, transesterification, and condensation reactions under mild conditions.

  • Premium Sol-Gel Precursor: Ideal for the synthesis of high-purity TiO2 nanoparticles, fibers, and thin films via the sol-gel process.

  • Excellent Solubility: Miscible with most organic solvents, including ethanol, isopropanol, toluene, and hydrocarbons.

  • High Purity (≥ 99.0%): Chemfine ensures strictly controlled metal impurities and low chloride content, essential for electronic applications.

  • Controlled Refractive Index: Enhances the optical properties of glass and polymer coatings, providing superior clarity and durability.

  • Stable Industrial Supply: Produced using advanced anhydrous synthesis routes to ensure consistent batch-to-batch quality.


Applications

Polyester and Plastic Catalyst Functions as a highly efficient catalyst for the production of polyesters, such as PET, and as a component in Ziegler-Natta catalysts for olefin polymerization.

Sol-Gel Thin Film Coatings Used as a primary precursor to deposit TiO2 coatings on glass and ceramics to create anti-reflective, self-cleaning, or high-refractive-index surfaces.

Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Synthesis Acts as a Lewis acid catalyst in the Sharpless epoxidation and other asymmetric industrial syntheses to produce complex drug intermediates.

Surface Priming and Adhesion Promotion Applied as a coupling agent to improve the bonding between organic polymers and inorganic substrates like metals and glass.

Advanced Ceramic Manufacturing Utilized in the production of high-performance titanate ceramics and dielectric materials for the electronics industry.


Packaging

Standard industrial packaging options for Titanium Tetraisopropanolate include:

  • 200kg high-purity steel drums with internal anti-corrosive linings.

  • 1000kg specialized IBC tanks for bulk industrial use.

  • ISO Tanks for large-scale international bulk maritime transport.

  • All packaging is hermetically sealed and nitrogen-blanketed to prevent hydrolysis caused by atmospheric moisture.


Storage

Titanium Tetraisopropanolate is highly moisture-sensitive and flammable. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert gas (nitrogen or argon). Store in a dedicated area for flammable and moisture-sensitive chemicals. Store away from strong acids, strong bases, and water. Properly stored in its original, unopened container, it has a shelf life of at least 12 months.
