Description

Tetra-n-Butyl Orthotitanate Tetramer is a high-purity organotitanium compound, specifically the tetrameric form of tetrabutyl titanate. This compound serves as a versatile and highly effective precursor for titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and other advanced inorganic materials. It is essential for industries requiring precise sol-gel chemistry, where it acts as a key reagent for producing coatings, catalysts, and ceramic powders with controlled properties. Its reactivity and structure make it a critical material for R&D and manufacturing in advanced technology sectors.

Application

• Sol-Gel Processing: Primary precursor for the synthesis of high-purity titanium dioxide (TiO₂) films, fibers, and monoliths used in optics, sensors, and protective coatings.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Used as a catalyst or catalyst support precursor in polymerization reactions (e.g., Ziegler-Natta catalysts) and organic synthesis.
• Advanced Ceramics & Composites: Key starting material for producing fine, uniform titanium-based ceramic powders and reinforcing phases in composite materials.
• Surface Modification & Adhesion Promotion: Acts as a coupling agent to improve adhesion between inorganic materials and organic polymers in coatings and composites.
• Thin Film Deposition: Source material for Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) processes to create titanium oxide layers in semiconductor and display manufacturing.
• Crosslinking Agent: Employed in silicone resins and other polymers to enhance thermal stability, mechanical strength, and weather resistance.
• Research & Development: Critical reagent in laboratories for developing new photocatalytic materials, dielectric layers, and nano-structured titania.

Quality Control

Our Tetra-n-Butyl Orthotitanate Tetramer is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis and degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
