<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>Titanium(IV) chloride (CAS 7550-45-0, TiCl<sub>4</sub>) is a colorless liquid produced via chlorination of rutile or ilmenite. It serves as the primary precursor for <strong>titanium dioxide pigment</strong> production and <strong>Ziegler-Natta catalysts</strong>.</p>
<h3>Application</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pigment Manufacturing:</strong> Feedstock for high-opacity white titanium dioxide in coatings and plastics.</li>
<li><strong>Petrochemicals:</strong> Catalyst component for polyolefin synthesis in polymerization processes.</li>
<li><strong>Semiconductors:</strong> Source material for depositing titanium nitride thin films.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Precautions</h3>
<p>Strictly store in sealed, dry containers under inert atmosphere to prevent violent hydrolysis. Requires full PPE including acid-resistant suits due to severe corrosivity and fume generation upon air exposure.</p>
