Tyzor® TE

Tyzor® TE by Dorf Ketal is triethanolamine titanium complex with 80% active ingredient in an alcohol solvent. It acts as a crosslinking agent, catalyst and as an adhesion promoter. It reacts with water by hydrolysis to form a reactive hydroxy titanium chelate that is stable in water for extended periods. It has moderate reaction rates, low toxicity, provides high yield and easy work-up at low catalyst concentration. Used as a Lewis acid catalyst for esterification, transesterification, condensation and addition reactions. It is especially well suited to direct esterification processes due to its excellent compatibility with the water by-product. Tyzor® TE is used in thixotropic and water-borne paints.
