FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does Titanium Tetrachloride mean an anhydrous TiCl4 grade?
A: Titanium tetrachloride, CAS 7550-45-0, is the anhydrous molecular compound TiCl4. It reacts vigorously with moisture and should not be replaced by hydrated titanium salts or titanium oxychloride. Purchasing documents should state anhydrous grade, concentration basis and moisture limit. -
Q:
Which specifications should be agreed for industrial Titanium Tetrachloride?
A: Define TiCl4 assay, free chlorine, titanium content, moisture, insoluble matter, color and metallic impurities with the applicable test methods. For chlorination or catalyst service, also specify hydrolysis-sensitive impurity limits and container integrity. A current COA and SDS are needed before process qualification. -
Q:
What should be confirmed before bulk TiCl4 delivery?
A: Agree moisture-tight containers, compatible valves and gaskets, dry nitrogen blanketing, unloading connections, emergency quench procedures and site ventilation. Confirm the corrosive and water-reactive transport classification. Inspect seals and headspace before transfer, and prevent contact with water, humid air and incompatible organic materials.
