Titanium Dioxide is the naturally occurring oxide of titanium and is found as the minerals Rutile, Anatase and Brookite. rhodochrosite. Titanium dioxide accounts for 70% of the total production volume of pigments worldwide. It is widely used to provide whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, plastics, papers and inks.

A special micronized rutile grade with a low inorganic and hydrophobic organic surface treatment, possessing good optical properties, opacity, and an excellent degree of dispersibility.

Uses for Titanium Dioxide:

• In ceramic glazes titanium dioxide acts as an opacifier and seeds crystal formation
• As whitening and opacifying agent in the following industries:- Coatings and Paints, Printing, Plastics, Synthetic Fibres, Paper, Rubber, Ceramics, Cement, Cosmetics
• Applied to sports pitches, tennis courts etc to produce the white lines.
• A thin film of TiO₂ is used to produce reflective optical coatings for dielectric mirrors and some gemstones.
• Used in the production of self-cleaning glass and antifogging coatings.
• Production of titanium metal.
• Used as a welding electrode covering.
