Product Details
Tetrabutyl titanate (CAS 5593-70-4), also known in Chinese as Tetrabutyl titanate, is a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid at room temperature with an ester-like odor. It is prone to hydrolysis in air, resulting in cloudiness. This compound is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, slightly soluble in water, and decomposes upon water contact.
