Tetrabutyl Titanate With CAS 5593-70-4
Tetra-n-butyl orthotitanate (Tetrabutyl Titanate, with the chemical formula C₁₆H₃₆O₄Ti) is an organotitanium compound. At room temperature, tetrabutyl titanate is a pale yellow to light brown transparent liquid with a slight ester-like odor.
Tetrabutyl titanate is very easy to react with polar groups such as amino group, hydroxyl group, carboxyl group and amide, especially titanium(IV) butoxide is very easy to undergo hydrolysis reaction with water. Soluble in various organic solvents except ketones.

1.Materials Science: Preparation of titanium-based functional materials
Titanium(IV) butoxide, as a coupling agent or crosslinking agent, is added to polymers (such as plastics, rubbers, and fibers) to enhance the mechanical properties (strength, wear resistance) and thermal stability of the materials. For instance, it is used to modify polypropylene and epoxy resin composites.
2. Coatings and inks industry: Improving coating performance
Tetrabutyl titanate is used to prepare high-temperature resistant silicone coatings and ceramic-based coatings. It decomposes at high temperatures to generate titanium dioxide, forming a dense high-temperature resistant coating, which is applied to boilers, pipelines, engine components, etc. Adding a small amount of Tetrabutyl titanate to printing ink can accelerate the drying speed of the ink and improve the printing efficiency (especially suitable for oil-based inks).
3. Chemical Engineering and other fields
Tetra-n-butyl orthotitanate is used for surface modification of glass and fibers to enhance their compatibility with resins (such as strengthening the bonding force between glass fibers and plastics). Tetra-n-butyl orthotitanate is used for anti-wrinkle finishing and waterproof finishing of textiles. By reacting with the hydroxyl groups on the fiber surface, it forms a cross-linked structure, thereby improving the performance of the fabric.
For transesterification, tetrabutyl titanate can be used as modifier for high-strength polyester paint, additives for high temperature resistant coatings, medical adhesives, crosslinking agents and condensation reaction catalysts. Performance (heat-resistant to 500 ℃), improve the adhesion of coatings, rubber and plastics to metal surfaces, also used as condensation catalyst, cross-linking agent. Use exchange reaction.
