Titanium dioxide industry

Titanium dioxide, commonly known as titanium dioxide, is a crystal powder with a high refractive index. So far, titanium dioxide is an irreplaceable white pigment with the strongest tinting power among white pigments. It has excellent hiding power and color fastness, and is suitable for Opaque white product.

The rutile type is especially suitable for plastics, architectural coatings and other products used outdoors, and can give the products good light stability. Anatase type is mainly used for indoor use products. Titanium dioxide is widely used as a pigment in paint, paper, rubber, plastic, enamel, glass, cosmetics, ink, watercolor and oil paint, and can also be used in metallurgy, radio, welding rods, etc.

Ubiquitous applications mean that the global demand trend of titanium dioxide is closely related to world economic production.

Titanium dioxide is a very important raw material in industrial production and is widely used in coatings, plastics, papermaking, printing ink, chemical fiber, rubber, cosmetics, ceramics, enamel, electronics, food and medicine, among which coatings account for the largest proportion, about 60% .

Among coating products, the largest consumer of titanium dioxide is architectural coatings, accounting for 60% of coating usage. Among coating products, architectural coatings consume the most titanium dioxide, followed by transportation equipment such as automobiles, ships, and railway vehicles. It can be seen that the consumption of architectural coatings directly affects the demand for titanium dioxide, and the consumption of architectural coatings is very closely related to the real estate industry.
