Product Description:

• Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄) is a highly reactive inorganic compound used extensively in chemical synthesis, metallurgy, and the production of titanium metal. It reacts vigorously with water, releasing dense white fumes of hydrochloric acid, and must be handled under controlled conditions.

Applications:

• Titanium Production: Used as a precursor for producing metallic titanium and titanium alloys.
• Catalysis: Serves as a catalyst or co-catalyst in organic reactions such as polymerization.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used in the preparation of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and other titanium compounds.
• Analytical Reagent: Employed in laboratories for specialized chemical reactions.

Safety:

• Highly corrosive and reacts violently with water.
• Causes severe burns and emits harmful fumes.
• Must be handled in a well-ventilated fume hood with full protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection.
