What is Potassium Titanate?
Potassium Titanate is a family of inorganic compounds with various stoichiometries, typically appearing as a white fibrous or crystalline powder. It is insoluble in water and most organic solvents but may decompose in strong acids. The material exhibits excellent thermal stability, high refractive index, and low thermal conductivity, making it valuable for high-temperature and friction applications. Its fibrous form provides reinforcement properties in composite materials.
