  • Patent number: 6737485
    Abstract: A composition and a process for producing the composition are disclosed. The composition comprises a titanium chelate polymer and a stabilizer. The process can comprise (1) contacting a tetraalkyl titanate with a chelating agent to produce a product mixture comprising a titanium chelate and an alcohol; (2) contacting the product mixture with water under a condition effective to produce a dispersion of a titanium chelate polymer; (3) optionally reducing the alcohol content of the dispersion; and (4) contacting the dispersion with a stabilizing amount of a stabilizer to produce a stable dispersion of titanium chelate polymer.

  • Patent number: 6562990
    Abstract: A composition and processes for producing the composition are provided. The composition comprises titanium chelates having the formulae of TiXm(OR)4−m, TiXm(OR)(4−m)/2(OR1)(4−m)/2, and TiXm(OR1)4−m in which X is a radical derived from a chelating agent such as, for example, a diketone, a diester, a ketoester, or combinations of two or more thereof; m is a number from about 1.5 to about 2.5; each R and R1 is independently an alkyl group containing from 1 to about 10 carbon atoms per radical; and R1 differs from R. The process can comprise contacting at least one tetraalkyl titanates with a chelating agent to produce a product mixture comprising a titanium chelate and an alcohol, substantially removing the alcohol to produce an alcohol-reduced titanium chelate, optionally contacting the alcohol-reduced titanium chelate with a second, and further optionally reducing the alcohol content of the titanium.
