Product Description
Tetrapropyl Orthotitanate is a versatile titanium alkoxide widely used in organic synthesis and materials science. This high-purity reagent, sourced from Merck, serves as a precursor for titanium dioxide nanoparticles, catalytic materials, and sol-gel coatings. Researchers and chemists rely on its consistent quality for reproducible results in esterification, transesterification, and cross-coupling reactions.
The 100ml pack size is ideal for small-scale laboratory applications, ensuring minimal waste while providing sufficient quantity for multiple experiments. Its synthesis-grade purity makes it suitable for demanding applications where impurities could compromise outcomes. Whether you’re developing new catalysts or synthesizing advanced materials, this reagent delivers the performance you need.
At eqipped, we understand the importance of reliable chemicals for your research. That’s why we source this product directly from Merck, a trusted name in laboratory supplies, to ensure you receive authentic, high-quality materials every time.
Key Applications
This reagent finds extensive use in academic and industrial laboratories for:
- Preparation of titanium-based catalysts for organic transformations
- Sol-gel synthesis of metal oxide thin films and nanoparticles
- Cross-coupling reactions in organic chemistry
- Surface modification of materials for enhanced properties
- Development of hybrid organic-inorganic materials
Its reactivity with water and alcohols makes it particularly valuable in controlled hydrolysis reactions for material synthesis.
Handling and Storage
As a moisture-sensitive compound, Tetrapropyl Orthotitanate requires careful handling. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dry place away from incompatible substances. Once opened, use under inert atmosphere when possible and reseal tightly after each use. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves and safety goggles when handling.
For best results, purchase only what you need for your current project and use within the recommended shelf life.
Why This Product Stands Out
What sets this particular offering apart is the combination of Merck’s rigorous quality control and eqipped’s commitment to providing researchers with exactly what they need. The 100ml packaging strikes the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness and practicality for most lab applications. Unlike bulk industrial grades, this synthesis-grade product undergoes additional purification steps to ensure consistency in sensitive applications.
Many researchers appreciate that this size allows for multiple experiments without the commitment of larger, more expensive quantities. The clear labeling and Merck’s detailed documentation also make it easier to track usage and maintain proper laboratory records.
Safety Considerations
While extremely useful in the lab, Tetrapropyl Orthotitanate requires proper safety measures. It’s classified as corrosive and flammable. Always handle in a well-ventilated fume hood and have appropriate spill control measures in place. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation occurs.
FAQs
What is the typical shelf life of Tetrapropyl Orthotitanate?
When stored properly in its original, unopened container, this product typically maintains its specified purity for 24 months from the date of manufacture. Once opened, use within 6 months for best results.
Can this be used for food or pharmaceutical applications?
No, this synthesis-grade product is not suitable for food, drug, or medicinal applications. It’s intended solely for laboratory research and development purposes.
What’s the difference between this and other titanium alkoxides?
Tetrapropyl Orthotitanate offers a balance between reactivity and stability compared to other alkoxides. Its propyl groups provide better solubility in organic solvents than methyl or ethyl derivatives while maintaining good hydrolytic reactivity.
Do you provide safety data sheets for this product?
Yes, complete safety data sheets are available for all our chemical products. You’ll receive the SDS with your order, and it’s also available upon request before purchase.
What’s the minimum order quantity for this product?
We offer this product in 100ml bottles with no minimum order quantity, making it accessible for both small research labs and large institutions. For bulk requirements, please contact our customer service team.
