TYTANTM Titanate Coupling & Dispersing Agent Titanate Coupling Agents are molecular bridges at the interface between inorganic filler such as CaCO3, BaSO4, graphite, carbon black, silica and metal oxide with polymer such as PP, PE, PVC, PBT, PET, ABS and rubbers. When incorporated into polymer systems, the coupling agent could improve filler loading, pigment dispersion, impact strength hence reduce embrittlement. Silane coupling agent only reacts with hydroxyl group on the filler surface via water condensation of silanol-siloxane process, therefore, it is suitable for glass, alumina hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and metal powder etc. The advantage of titanate coupling agents is that they react not only with the hydroxyls but the free protons on the inorganic interface, which results in the formation of organic monomolecular layers on the inorganic surface forming the bonding for polymers.

Tytan S3 is an ethylacetoacetate titanate silane chelate used commonly as important additives in moisture curing room temperature vulcanizable (RTV) silicone sealant, catalyst for silane and silicone cross linking as well as moisture scavenger for sealant. Tytan S3 is sensitive to water and will react and cure immediately while in contact with moisture at room temperature.

Tytan AP310 is an ethyl citrate titanium complex that can be used as an adhesion promoter for printing, crosslinker for paints and as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its chelated structure, Tytan AP310 shows delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates storage stability of inks.

Tytan AP910D is an ethyl citrate zirconium that can be used as an adhesion promoter for printing, crosslinker for paints and as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its chelated structure, Tytan AP910D shows delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches. As the temperature increases above 60oC, the zirconate can interact with functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, -NH2 in the polymer or substrate.

Tytan AP110 is modified from Tytan AP100, which is aiming for better compatibility with various ink formulations. Tytan AP110 is proved offering the same adhesion performance as Tytan AP100, in addition, preventing the viscosity changed during printing process.

Tytan CA 2E is a formulated catalyst suitable for ethylene dimerization process for high purity 1-butene production. The liquid phase catalyst could avoid isomerization of 1-butene to 2-butene.
-
Tytan TNPT is used in a variety of industrial applications e.g. as an esterification and transesterification catalyst, as an olefin polymerisation catalyst, as an adhesion promoter, as a crosslinking agent for hydroxylic compounds and as a component of heat and corrosion resistant paints.
-
Tytan AQ5000 is used as an advanced polyesterification and transesterification catalyst based on the latest titanate technology. Tytan AQ5000 is recommended for the manufacture of unsaturated polyester, polyester, PET, PTT and PBT without sacrificing the performance when the water content increased in the system. Therefore, Tytan AQ5000 delivers reliable and high performance during the processing.

Tytan TIPT is a very reactive primary titanate that will hydrolyse immediately in contact with moisture. Tytan TIPT is mainly used as catalyst for esterification, trans-esterification and olefin polymerization. Tytan TIPT can also be used selectively as an adhesion promoting and cross-linking agent for hydroxylic compounds or heat and corrosion resistant coatings. Tytan TIPT is most suitable for use in the glass and glass fibre manufacturing. Tytan TIPT can only be used as an additive to solvent based products.

Tytan AP100 is a Titanium Phosphate Complex of which the alkoxy groups can react with resins to promote adhesion and/or cross-linking while the chelating agents stabilize the molecule. Tytan AP100 is mainly designed to strongly increase adhesion of solvent based inks to a variety of plastics used for food packaging or other purposes. Tytan AP100 is transparent and therefore most suitable for modification of ink for very clear-colour and high-gloss printing. Tytan AP100 is low odour and applies to the most stringent contemporary legislation on registration of the ECB. Tytan AP100 can only be used in solvent based inks.

Tytan TAA is a titanium chelate of which the alkoxy groups can react with resins to promote adhesion and/or cross-linking while the chelating agents stabilize the molecule. Tytan TAA has an excellent balance between reactivity and cross-linking/adhesion-improvement properties which makes it also very suitable to strongly improve performance properties of industrial coatings on difficult modern polymeric substrates, glass and some metals. Tytan TAA can only be used in solvent based inks and coatings.
