What is Tetrabutyl Titanate？
Tetrabutyl Titanate is a metal alkoxide compound appearing as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with a characteristic ester-like odor. It is sensitive to moisture and hydrolyzes in water, but soluble in most organic solvents. The compound serves as an important titanium source and crosslinking agent in various industrial processes, particularly in the production of titanium dioxide and specialty coatings.
