Titanium Tetrachloride (TiCl4), identified by CAS number 7550-45-0, is an indispensable chemical intermediate that underpins the production of two exceptionally important materials: titanium metal and titanium dioxide. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is proud to be a supplier of this vital compound, contributing to industries that shape our modern world.

The journey to producing high-purity titanium metal, celebrated for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, begins with TiCl4. The dominant method for achieving this is the Kroll process, which involves the reduction of Titanium Tetrachloride with molten magnesium. The reaction, TiCl4 + 2Mg → Ti + 2MgCl2, generates titanium sponge, which is then further processed into ingots, alloys, and various forms of titanium products. Consequently, the efficiency and availability of TiCl4 directly impact the global supply of titanium metal, a critical component in aerospace, medical devices, and high-performance sporting goods. For those interested in titanium metal production, understanding the role of TiCl4 is fundamental.

On an even larger scale, TiCl4 is the primary feedstock for the production of titanium dioxide (TiO2), the world's most widely used white pigment. This ubiquitous compound imparts brightness, opacity, and UV resistance to a vast array of products, including paints, coatings, plastics, paper, inks, and even cosmetics and sunscreens. The oxidation of TiCl4, either through hydrolysis or direct oxidation with oxygen, yields pure TiO2. The sheer volume consumed in titanium dioxide production makes TiCl4 a chemical of immense industrial significance. Manufacturers rely on consistent, high-purity TiCl4 to ensure the quality and performance of their TiO2 products.

The inherent reactivity of TiCl4, its ability to fume upon contact with moist air, is also leveraged in niche applications. While its use in generating smoke screens for military and cinematic purposes is well-documented, this characteristic underscores the need for stringent safety protocols. The generated hydrochloric acid and titanium dioxide particles are highly corrosive and irritant.

As a leading supplier, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that our Titanium Tetrachloride meets the high purity standards required for these demanding applications. We understand the critical nature of reliable supply chains for both titanium metal and dioxide manufacturers. Our commitment extends to providing comprehensive product information, including technical specifications and safety data, to support our clients in their manufacturing endeavors, whether it’s for advanced material synthesis or routine industrial processes.

The ongoing demand for lightweight, durable titanium and the essential white pigment, titanium dioxide, ensures that Titanium Tetrachloride will remain a vital chemical intermediate. We are dedicated to providing the quality TiCl4 necessary for these critical manufacturing processes, contributing to technological advancements and everyday products alike.
