TITANIUM TETRABUTOXIDE.

Avoid CAS 5593-70-4 / FILM FORMING

Titanium Tetrabutoxide is an organometallic compound recognized for its film-forming capabilities, creating a continuous barrier on the skin. However, it exhibits significant reactivity with moisture, undergoing hydrolysis to produce butanol and titanium dioxide.

Summary

Film-forming agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

Upon topical application, Titanium Tetrabutoxide forms a cohesive, continuous film on the skin's surface. Its chemical structure is highly susceptible to hydrolysis in the presence of water, leading to its decomposition into butanol and titanium dioxide.
