DEVELOPMENT OF IMPROVED TITANIUM ORGANIC COMPOUNDS FOR USE AS HYDRAULIC FLUIDS

Abstract

The fluid developed by this group was evaluated and good high temperature properties and excellent sheer stability have been established. The material was pourable at -70 F., but was solid when st red undisturbed at -40 F. The work continues with two main approaches: one, using a reaction of tetra alkyl titanate with basic zinc octoate with titanium tetrachloride as catalyst; the other, reacting the two components in the presence of water, to more easily free the isopropyl groups of a tetra isopropyl titanate. Both products have a flame point around 600 F. The reaction between tetra alkyl titanates with organics containing phosphoric groups is being studied in an effort to introduce phosphoric groups in the titanates; it is hoped that self flame extinguishing properties may be obtained beyond the present flame point. A reaction product between tetra isopropyl titanate and a tri octyl phosphate is studied as a viscosity reducing additive to the fluid complexes. (Author)
