Product Overview

Potassium Fluorotitanate, also known as Potassium Hexafluorotitanate, is an inorganic fluorotitanate salt widely used in metallurgical flux formulations and specialty ceramic/glass applications. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with moderate water solubility, and is chemically stable under standard ambient storage conditions when protected from moisture. Procorbay International supplies industrial-grade Potassium Fluorotitanate serving as a grain-refining flux agent in aluminum alloy casting and welding applications, as well as a raw material in specialty ceramic glaze and glass formulation.

Potassium Fluorotitanate is manufactured through the reaction of titanium dioxide or titanium tetrachloride with hydrofluoric acid and potassium salts under controlled conditions, followed by crystallization and drying to achieve the required industrial purity. Procorbay sources Potassium Fluorotitanate from established specialty inorganic fluoride manufacturers with consistent quality control over purity, moisture content, and particle size specifications.

Industrially, Potassium Fluorotitanate's most significant application is as a grain-refining and fluxing agent in aluminum and aluminum-alloy casting and welding processes, where it helps improve metal flow characteristics, reduce oxide inclusions, and refine grain structure during solidification, contributing to improved mechanical properties in cast aluminum components. It also serves as a raw material in specialty ceramic glaze and opacifying glass formulations, where titanium and fluoride content contribute to specific optical and surface finish characteristics. Additionally, it finds application as a component in certain electroplating bath formulations requiring controlled fluorotitanate chemistry.

Given its specialized but consistent demand from aluminum casting/welding and specialty ceramics/glass sectors, Procorbay maintains dependable Potassium Fluorotitanate supply for metallurgical and ceramics industry buyers.
