Product Overview
This 99.999% pure titanium(IV) oxide (TiO₂) in its predominantly rutile crystalline form is engineered for applications demanding ultra-low impurity levels. The trace metal basis certification ensures minimal contamination from heavy metals or other elements, making it suitable for sensitive analytical procedures, advanced material synthesis, and catalytic studies. The rutile phase offers superior thermal stability and photocatalytic efficiency compared to anatase forms, while the fine powder consistency guarantees uniform dispersion in solvents or matrices. Its high refractive index and UV absorption properties are leveraged in optical coatings and photochemical applications. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain consistent particle size distribution and phase purity, eliminating batch-to-batch variability. Store in a tightly sealed container under inert conditions to preserve its reactive surface properties and prevent moisture absorption.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between rutile and anatase forms of titanium(IV) oxide?
Rutile exhibits higher density, refractive index, and thermal stability, while anatase has greater photocatalytic activity under UV light but lower thermal resistance.
2. Can this product be used for thin-film deposition techniques?
Yes, its fine particle size and high purity make it compatible with PVD, CVD, and sol-gel methods for producing uniform thin films.
3. What impurities are typically present in trace metal basis titanium(IV) oxide?
Common trace impurities may include iron, silicon, and aluminum, but these are strictly controlled below 10 ppm in this 99.999% grade.
4. How does the 99.999% purity compare to standard reagent grades?
This grade contains 100x fewer impurities than typical 99.5% reagent grades, with heavy metals reduced to parts-per-million levels.
5. What precautions should be taken when handling this powder?
Use in a fume hood with proper PPE to avoid inhalation; the fine particles can become airborne and may cause respiratory irritation.
