Titanium Tetrachloride

Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) is a colorless liquid used primarily in the production of titanium metal via the Kroll process and as a catalyst in chemical synthesis. It falls under HTS 2827.39.3000 as a chemically defined chloride of titanium. This compound hydrolyzes violently in moist air, producing titanium dioxide and HCl gas.

Titanium Trichloride

Titanium trichloride (TiCl3), often supplied as a purple solid or solution, serves as a reducing agent in organic synthesis and polymerization catalysis, such as Ziegler-Natta processes. Classified under HTS 2827.39.3000 as 'other chlorides of titanium.' It is highly air-sensitive and typically handled under inert atmosphere.

Titanium Oxychloride Solution

Titanium oxychloride (TiOCl2), typically imported as a 20-30% aqueous solution, is used in water treatment as a coagulant and in titanium dioxide production. It qualifies under HTS 2827.39.3000 as a chloride oxide of titanium. The solution is acidic and corrosive, requiring specialized handling.

Anhydrous Titanium Tetrachloride

Anhydrous titanium tetrachloride is a high-purity grade (>99.9%) used in semiconductor manufacturing for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of titanium films. It is classified under HTS 2827.39.3000 as a titanium chloride. This fuming liquid demands double-walled stainless steel containers for safe transport.

Titanium Trichloride Hexahydrate

Titanium trichloride hexahydrate (TiCl3·6H2O) appears as violet crystals used in analytical chemistry for iron determination and as a photographic developer. Classified under HTS 2827.39.3000 as a titanium chloride hydrate. Stable in solid form but solutions decolorize upon oxidation.
