Widely used as a precursor in sol-gel processes to produce titanium dioxide (TiO₂) coatings and thin films. These films are applied in photocatalytic surfaces, self-cleaning glass, and anti-reflective coatings due to their high reactivity under UV light and excellent transparency. Also employed in the synthesis of nanomaterials and porous ceramics where controlled hydrolysis is required. Acts as a catalyst or cross-linking agent in organic synthesis and polymer chemistry, particularly in the formation of silicon-titanium hybrid materials. Its reactivity with moisture makes it suitable for in situ generation of titanium oxide layers in coatings and adhesives, enhancing adhesion and durability on metal and glass surfaces.
