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.

Safety Profile:
Potassium Titanate may cause respiratory irritation. Inhalation of fibers may be harmful. Use appropriate personal protective equipment including dust mask, safety glasses, and gloves when handling. Avoid breathing dust. The substance may cause mechanical irritation to eyes and skin. For detailed safety information, always consult the full Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
Storage Requirements:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly closed and sealed. Maintain storage temperature below 30°C. Relative humidity below 60% recommended. Store away from strong acids.
Transport & Packaging:
Potassium Titanate is packaged in paper-plastic composite bags with inner polyethylene liner (25 kg net weight per bag). Transport as non-hazardous material under normal conditions. Ensure containers are properly sealed and protected from moisture during transportation. Store away from incompatible materials.
