CAS 16919-27-0: Potassium titanium fluoride (K2TiF6)

Potassium hexafluorotitanate(IV)

Potassium hexafluorotitanate is a chemical compound that is composed of potassium, fluorine, and titanium. It has been shown to have the potential for use in electrochemical impedance spectroscopy as a red fluorescent dye. Potassium hexafluorotitanate can also be used in light emission reactions with sodium carbonate and hydrogen fluoride (HF). In these reactions, the compound emits red light. The morphology of potassium hexafluorotitanate particles can be observed by electron microscopy. Potassium hexafluorotitanate also reacts exothermically with aluminium to produce hydrogen gas and aluminium fluoride, which may be useful in detergent compositions.

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.
