A salt or compound containing fluorine and titanium, used in specialty chemicals and as a source of titanium compounds.
Compound of 'fluoro-' plus 'titanate' (a salt of titanic acid), developed in 20th-century chemistry as titanium became increasingly valuable industrially.
Titanium is found in everything from medical implants to airplane fuselages, and fluotitanate compounds are one way chemists extract and purify titanium from raw ore, turning rocks into materials that can withstand extreme conditions.
