Tetrabutyl titanate

Details:

DESCRIPTION:TNBT is a type of very lively primary alcohol titanium oxide, hydrolyzes when contacts with moisture in air.TNBT is mainly used as catalyst in esterification reaction or transesterification, also be used as catalyst of polyolefin. It can be used to assist the adherence and crosslink of resin having alcohol group or carboxy group, be used in heat resistant and corrosion resistant coating. It can also be used in manufacture of glass and glass fiber. TNBT can only be used in oil system.

APPLICATIONS:

• REACTION CATALYST: TNBT is used as a Lewis acid catalyst for esterification,transesterification,

condensation and addition reactions, or as a Ziegler-Natta catalyst for polymerizations. Typical reaction products include (meth)acrylic esters, polyester, plasticizer, various esters and polyurethanes. Benefits include elimination of byproducts, increased yield, easy work-up, low catalyst concentration and low toxicity.

• COATINGS :Glass, metals, fillers and pigments can be treated with TnBT to increase surface hardness, promote adhesion, improve resistance to heat, chemicals, corrosion and scratches, add iridescence or coloring effects or enhance light reflection.
• PAINTS: TnBT is useful as a binder and also can be used as an adhesion promoter or cross-linker for –OH functional polymers and other binders in paints.

TIO2 PIGMENT AND FILMS:Micro- or nano-scale TiO2 pigments can be formed from TnBT, which also can also be used to create polymeric TiO2 films on surfaces via pyrolytic or hydrolytic (e.g. sol-gel) processes.
