Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)

Product Description

Titanium dioxide, commonly known as titanium white, is an inorganic compound composed of titanium and oxygen. Its chemical formula is TiO2. It is typically supplied as a fine white powder and is widely used as a white pigment and functional filler due to its excellent hiding power, brightness, gloss, and stability.

Key Features

Excellent Hiding Power

Titanium dioxide provides strong opacity and effectively covers the color of substrates and other pigments. It gives coatings, plastics, and other products a clean, bright white appearance.

High Brightness and Gloss

It improves the brightness, gloss, and light reflectance of finished products, enhancing their appearance and surface quality.

Chemical Stability

Titanium dioxide remains stable in a wide range of chemical environments, helping finished products maintain reliable long-term performance.

Weather Resistance

It offers resistance to UV radiation, oxidation, and other environmental factors, helping products retain their color and appearance over time.

Thermal Stability

Titanium dioxide maintains stable performance under elevated temperatures without significant decomposition or loss of functionality.

Applications

Coatings and Paints

Titanium dioxide is widely used as a white pigment in architectural coatings, industrial coatings, furniture paints, automotive coatings, and other paint systems. It provides opacity, brightness, and an attractive surface finish.

Plastics

It is used as a pigment and functional additive to improve the whiteness, gloss, appearance, and physical properties of plastic products.

Ceramics and Tiles

Titanium dioxide is used in ceramic and tile manufacturing to produce bright white colors and improve gloss and decorative appearance.

Fibers, Textiles, and Paper

It is used in textiles, synthetic fibers, and paper to improve whiteness, opacity, and overall product appearance.

Cosmetics

Titanium dioxide is used as a white pigment in foundations, lipsticks, pressed powders, sunscreens, and other cosmetic products to provide opacity and improve color and texture.
