TITANIUM DIOXIDE 

Technical grade

Titanium Dioxide is the naturally occuring 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.

Uses for Titanium Dioxide:

• In ceramic glazes titanium dioxide acts as an opacifier and seeds crystal formation
• It is widely used to provide whiteness and opacity to products such as paints, plastics, papers and inks.
• 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.
