TETRAAOCTYL TITANATE TOT (CAS: 1070-10-6)
REACTION CATALYST
TCA- TOT is used as a Lewis acid catalyst for esterification, transesterification, condensation and addition reactions. Typical reaction products include (meth)acrylic esters, polyester, plasticizers, various esters and polyurethanes.
COATINGS
Glass, metals, fillers and pigments can be treated with TCA- TOT to increase surface hardness, promote adhesion, improve resistance to heat, chemicals, corrosion and scratches, add iridescence or coloring effects or enhance light reflection.
PAINTS
TCA- TOT is useful as a binder and also can be used as an adhesion promoter or crosslinker for -OH functional polymers and other binders in paints.
TIO2 PIGMENT AND FILMS
Micro- or nano-scale TIO2 pigments can be formed from TCA- TOT, which also can also be used to create polymeric TIO2 films on surfaces via pyrolytic or hydrolytic (e.g. sol-gel) processes. Total or partial hydrolysis of TCA- TOT in sol-gel applications, typically in combination with other metal alkoxides, produces metal oxide systems for use as binders or coatings.
