Tetrabutyl Titanate CAS#5593-70-4
High Solubility: Tetrabutyl titanate is miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, making it versatile for various formulations.
Hydrolysis Sensitivity: While slightly soluble in water, it is prone to decomposition upon contact, ensuring controlled reactivity in specific applications.
Transparent Liquid: The colorless to light yellow appearance provides clarity for use in coatings and other chemical processes.
Versatile Applications: Its reactivity makes it valuable in fields like catalysis, coatings, and as a precursor in the synthesis of titanium-based compounds.
Tetrabutyl Titanate (CAS#5593-70-4), also referred to as tetrabutyl titanate in Chinese, is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, with an ester-like odor. When exposed to air, it gradually turns cloudy and undergoes hydrolysis. It is soluble in organic solvents like ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water, and tends to decompose upon contact with water.
