Titanium Dioxide

The chemical name for titanium dioxide is TiO₂.

The titanium iron ore is used as the raw material for TiO₂. The production process is differentiated by sulphate and chloride processes, the chloride process being more environmentally friendly than the sulphate process. TiO₂ from both manufacturing processes are not toxic.By far, titanium dioxide is now the most common white pigment used. Depending on the application, TiO₂ RUTIL Grade, is differentiated, which is the preferred white pigment in the production of wall and printing inks as well as in the coloring of plastic. TiO₂ ANATASE-Grade are used in the ceramics and textile industries. The RUTIL-Grade however, has a better coverage and is therefore also referred to as the whiter pigment.

TiO₂ can be mixed with all other pigments and allows a lightening of other colors.

We supply TiO₂ from European as well as Chinese production. All TiO₂ -grades from Chinese production are produced by the sulfate process.

We will be glad to submit you a type that meets your specific requirements.
