Ethyl Titanate
SKU
RXSOL-19-1914-200
Ethyl titanate, also known as titanium ethoxide, is a chemical compound with the formula Ti(OC2H5)4, a colorless liquid soluble in organic solvents that readily hydrolyzes. It's used in organic synthesis, materials science, and as a cross-linking agent and reaction catalyst in coatings and adhesives.
Remarks
PRECAUTION::
General Precautions:
- Flammability: Ethyl titanate is a flammable liquid and vapor, so keep it away from heat, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
- Container: Keep containers tightly closed to prevent evaporation and potential ignition.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas, to prevent the buildup of flammable vapors.
- Static Discharge: Take precautionary measures against static discharge, as this can cause ignition.
- Tools: Use only non-sparking tools when handling ethyl titanate.
- Eye and Skin Contact: Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
- Inhalation: Avoid inhaling vapors or mist.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- Gloves: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin contact.
- Eye Protection: Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles.
- Face Protection: Use face protection if there is a risk of splashing or spraying.
- Respirator: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
