Depending on the application and end use, there are a multitude of benefits that can be achieved by using DuPont™ Tyzor® organic titanates and zirconates including:

• High reactivity
• Crosslinking of organic polymers (-OH functional)
• Low toxicity (alternative for tin, antimony and chromium (VI) compounds)

• Mild reaction conditions
• High yield
• Low catalyst concentration
• Low formation of by-products
• Easy work-up
• High end-product quality
• Self cleaning glass
• Catalyst carrier

• Accelerated curing rate ( e.g. sealants, inks, coatings)
• Improved electrical properties ( wire enamels)
• Gel formation in solvent and water borne carbohydrate systems ( e.g. printing inks, oil-field fracturing fluids, thixotropic paints)
• Thermal stability
• Water scavenger

• Corrosion protection
• Scratch resistance
• Thermal resistance
• Chemical resistance
• Light / heat reflection
• Decorative / optical effects ( iridisation)
• Source for nano-sized TiO₂ and ZrO₂ pigments
• Adhesion even to low reactive substrates
