Product Description:

Titanium (IV) carbide (TiC) is a hard refractory ceramic material composed of titanium and carbon. It appears as a grey to black fine powder and is odorless. TiC is known for its high hardness, high melting point, and excellent chemical stability, making it an important material for industrial and research applications.

It is commonly used in cutting tools, wear-resistant coatings, cermets, and refractory components, as well as in the production of advanced composites. Titanium carbide’s unique properties make it suitable for high-temperature applications and environments requiring exceptional durability.

Storage & Handling:

Keep in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Avoid contact with moisture, acids, and strong oxidizers. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, a mask, and safety goggles during handling.

Safety Information:

May cause irritation to eyes, skin, and respiratory tract if inhaled as fine powder. Avoid direct contact and inhalation. Refer to the supplier’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed hazard, handling, and first-aid measures.
