Product Description of ‌POTASSIUM TITANATE CAS#12030-97-6

Potassium titanate is an inorganic compound composed of potassium oxide and titanium dioxide with the general formula K₂O·nTiO₂ (n=1,2,4,6,8). It is a white solid with a relative density of 3.1 and a melting point of 1515℃, forming a strongly alkaline solution when reacting with water. It mainly exists in two crystal forms: potassium tetratitanate (K₂Ti₄O₉) and potassium hexatitanate (K₂Ti₆O₁₃). It presents white needle-like crystals with a Mohs hardness of 4, featuring low thermal conductivity, high infrared reflectivity and high temperature resistance up to 1200℃.

Product Application of POTASSIUM TITANATE CAS#12030-97-6

It can be used as thermal insulation material, electrical insulation material, catalyst carrier and filter material. As a friction material, it reduces friction by about 50% and wear by around 32% compared with asbestos, suitable for brakes, clutches and other friction parts. After surface modification with Sb/SnO₂ to gain conductivity, it can be used as conductive material or blended with plastics to make conductive composites. It also serves as ion exchange material and adsorbent.
