Potassium hexafluorotitanate is used as analytical reagent, alloying additive, flame retardant and flux agent for casting. It is also used in the manufacture of titanium acid and aluminum alloys containing titanium. It is also employed in metal surface treatment and finishing, detergent applications and dental impression molding. Further, it is used as a catalyst for polypropylene synthesis. In addition to this, it is used in the extraction-refining-processing of metals, electrical-electronics engineering, textile processing and in ceramics-glass industries.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
