Overview of Tetra-N-Butyl Titanate

Tetra-N-Butyl Titanate (CAS: 5593-70-4) is an important organotitanium compound widely used as a catalyst, crosslinking agent, and precursor in coatings, adhesives, esterification reactions, and sol-gel chemistry. It appears as a yellow to pale amber liquid with excellent reactivity toward alcohols, moisture, and acidic functional groups.

Known for its high catalytic activity and strong bonding ability with organic materials, Tetra-N-Butyl Titanate is extensively used in polymerization, resin modification, surface treatments, and the production of titanium dioxide films. It is also a key raw material in ceramics, paints, and specialty chemical manufacturing.
