Description
Titanium Isopropoxide (CAS 546-68-9), also known as Tetraisopropyl Titanate, Isopropyl Titanate(IV), and Titanium ISO-Propylate, is an organotitanium compound supplied as a colourless to light yellow liquid. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29051900 within the Catalysts and Catalyst Precursors category.
In polymer and plastics manufacturing, it functions as a transesterification and polycondensation catalyst, accelerating ester bond formation without requiring harsh reaction conditions. In personal care formulations, it acts as a surface-modification agent and antimicrobial component, bonding to substrate surfaces through titanium-oxygen coordination to improve adhesion and inhibit microbial growth.
Titanium Isopropoxide is available in technical and high-purity grades suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications, with supply governed by REACH compliance requirements. Packaging formats are available to meet B2B procurement volumes. Prospective buyers should confirm grade specifications and documentation requirements prior to ordering.
