description Product Description
Used primarily in the production of titanium metal and titanium dioxide pigments. It serves as a key intermediate in the Kroll process, where it is reduced with magnesium or sodium to produce metallic titanium for aerospace and industrial applications. In the pigment industry, titanium tetrachloride is oxidized to form titanium dioxide, a white pigment used in paints, coatings, plastics, and paper due to its brightness and high refractive index. It is also employed in the manufacture of smoke screens and fog, as it reacts vigorously with moisture in the air to produce dense white fumes. Additionally, it acts as a catalyst or precursor in some organic synthesis and polymerization reactions.
