Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) is a volatile metal chloride compound used primarily as a precursor and intermediate in titanium metal production and surface treatment processes. In industry, it serves as a key feedstock for manufacturing titanium sponge via the Kroll process, and is also employed in pigment production (titanium dioxide), metal surface treatments, and specialized coatings. Engineers select TiCl4 for applications requiring high-purity titanium feedstock or where controlled hydrolysis reactions are needed to deposit oxide or metal films on surfaces.
