Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Justification for type of information:
Titanium tetrakis(dimethylammonium) is an organometalic compound. It can only be handled air-free. It is a flammable liquid and very unstable (see also chapter 1.2 or 5.1.2 or 13). Within seconds it reacts violently in contact with moisture or water. The decomposition products are dimethylamine and titanium oxide. Dimethylamine is a highly flammable gas, it can form explosive mixtures with air.

Interpretation of results:
other: extremely flammable gas 1A, H 220
Executive summary:

Titanium tetrakis(dimethylammonium) is an organometalic compound. It can only be handled air-free. It is a flammable liquid and very unstable (see also chapter 1.2 or 13). Within seconds it reacts violently in contact with moisture or water. The decomposition products are dimethylamine and titanium oxide. Dimethylamine is a highly flammable gas, it can form explosive mixtures with air. The lower explosive limit is 4.5 % dimethylamin as gas in air, the upper explosive limit is 20.7 % dimethylamine as gas in air. Dimethylamine is classified as extremely flammable gas 1A and H220
