Tetra Isopropyl Titanate (TIPT) CAS# 546-68-9
Description: TIPT is a type of very lively primary alcohol titanium oxide; it hydrolyzes when contacted with moisture in air. TIPT is mainly used as catalyst in esterification reaction or transesterification,also being used as catalyst of polyolefin. It can be used to improve the adherence and crosslinking of resin having alcohol group or carboxyl group, used in heat resistant and corrosion resistant coating. It also can be used in the manufacture of glass and glass fiber. TIPT can only be used in oil system.
Applications:
Coating: Glass, metals, fillers and pigments can be treated with TIPT to give increased surface hardness; adhesion promotion; heat, chemical and scratch resistance; coloring effects; light reflection; iridescence; and corrosion resistance
Paint additive: TIPT can be used as an additive in paints to cross-link -OH functional polymers or binders; to promote adhesion; or to act as a binder itself.
TiO2 pigments and films: Micro- or nano-scale TiO2 pigments can be formed from TIPT. It can also be used to create a polymeric TiO2 film on surfaces via pyrolytic or hydrolytic processes.
