For over five decades, Tyzor® has been at the forefront of titanium and zirconium-based organometallic innovation. Under the stewardship of Dorf Ketal, a global leader in specialty chemical technologies, the Tyzor® brand continues to deliver trusted performance, versatility, and reliability across a broad spectrum of industrial applications.
Tyzor® compounds serve four core functions, making them essential components in countless formulations: catalysis, cross-linking, surface modification, and adhesion promotion. These capabilities enable enhanced process efficiency, superior product performance, and broader formulation flexibility for various industries.
From esterification and transesterification reactions to high-performance coatings, inks, adhesives, and oilfield chemistry, Tyzor® compounds consistently deliver excellent results under demanding conditions. As catalysts, they enable high-yield, low-temperature reactions with limited by-product formation. As cross-linking agents, they enhance mechanical strength, thermal stability, and curing performance in polymers and coatings.
Tyzor® products are also widely used as surface modifiers, providing advanced material properties such as corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and improved durability. Their application extends to nano-scale TiO₂ and ZrO₂ generation, delivering functional, protective, and optical benefits across glass treatment, ceramics, and nanotechnology industries. In adhesion promotion, Tyzor® compounds enable robust bonding between dissimilar materials, including metals, plastics, and glass.
Dorf Ketal ensures secure and consistent global availability of more than 40 Tyzor® grades—including specialty formulations tailored to meet highly specific technical requirements—through its vertically integrated supply chain and expansive manufacturing and distribution footprint.
Whether your application lies in polymer synthesis, industrial coatings, oil and gas production, or precision manufacturing, Tyzor® empowers your innovation with the performance you can trust—backed by Dorf Ketal’s world-class technical support and global reach.
Put Tyzor® to work—and unlock the power of advanced organometallic chemistry.
