Titanium Tetrachloride, identifiable by CAS 7550-45-0, functions as a highly reactive inorganic liquid used primarily as the fundamental intermediate for the production of titanium metal and titanium dioxide pigments. Chemically defined as Titanium(IV) chloride, this volatile, colorless to pale yellow liquid serves as a critical precursor in the Kroll process for sponge titanium and a catalyst component in Ziegler-Natta polymerization. The substance, often referred to as Titanic Chloride or TiCl4 in metallurgical engineering, acts as a surface treatment agent for glass and a starting material for organic titanates. We facilitate bulk supply of this heavy chemical with competitive factory pricing, capable of meeting customized specifications for vanadium impurity levels, backed by comprehensive MSDS, TDS, COA documentation.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is Titanium Tetrachloride used directly as a finished material or mainly as an intermediate?
A: It is commonly used as an industrial intermediate, particularly as a precursor in titanium-based chemical processes, rather than as a finished or end-use material. -
Q:
Is Titanium Tetrachloride chemically distinct from Titanium Dioxide?
A: Yes, Titanium Tetrachloride (CAS 7550-45-0) is a volatile liquid precursor, whereas Titanium Dioxide (CAS 13463-67-7) is the solid white pigment often produced via the oxidation or hydrolysis of this chloride. -
Q:
Is this material suitable for use as a polymerization catalyst?
A: Titanium Tetrachloride is typically applied as a key component in Ziegler-Natta catalyst systems, essential for the industrial production of polyethylene and polypropylene.
