New titanium chelates containing triethanolamine as chelating agent, plus one or two glycol ether groups bound to the titanium atom are disclosed. Solutions of these new titanium chelates, pure or solved in glycol ether, can be diluted with water such that even 1% aqueous solutions are stable and show no turbidity or precipitation even after several weeks of standing. The new compounds are obtained by the reaction of the known triethanolamine titanates with glycol ethers, followed by distillation of the alcohol that forms, plus the alcohol serving as solvent, if any. |
