Product Description of Tetrabutyl Titanate CAS#5593-70-4
Tetrabutyl titanate (CAS#5593-70-4), also known as tetrabutyl titanate, is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid at room temperature with an ester-like odor. When exposed to air, it gradually becomes cloudy due to hydrolysis. The compound is miscible with organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water, and can readily decompose upon contact with water.

Product Application of Tetrabutyl Titanate CAS#5593-70-4
Titanium(IV) n-butoxide is commonly used in the preparation of nanosized titania powders with an anatase structure and in the fabrication of ferroelectric bismuth titanate thin films. It also serves as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, as well as a paint and coating additive, processing aid, and process modifier. In addition, it is involved in the preparation of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide powders at room temperature. As a precursor material for titanium oxide (TiO₂), it can be further applied in various fields, including dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), photocatalytic systems, and self-cleaning coatings.
