Tyzor^® TOT is a tetra-2-ethylhexyl titanate commonly used as a low-toxicity catalyst for esterification, condensation, and elimination reactions. The titanate behaves as a Lewis acid in these reactions to improve yield and eliminate chemical byproducts. Tyzor^® TOT is also used as an additive to cross-link polymers with hydroxyl or carboxyl functionality. This functionality is particularly important for coating formulations using organic resins, where hardness, adhesion, and resistance to corrosion are increased. The Tyzor^® TOT titanate can also treat glass, forming polymeric films of titanium dioxide that improve light reflection and add coloring effects like iridescence.

Relative to other Tyzor^® titanates, Tyzor^® TOT is extremely sensitive to moisture. In the presence of water, it will undergo a hydrolysis reaction to form chemical products of 2-ethylhexanol and hydrous titanium dioxide. Therefore, to leverage this titanate's value as a catalyst or cross-linker, it is suggested for use in systems containing organic solvents, such as aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, esters, and ketones.
