TEHT (Tetra 2-ethyl Hexyl Titanate)
TEHT is a Titanium tetrakis (2-ethylhexanolate) complex. It can be used as a direct
esterification catalysts and is also suitable for transesterification reactions when the
alcohol in the catalyst needs to be compatible with that in the end product. Akaiyo is
also less moisture sensitive when compared to tetra iso propyl titanates.
