PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Titanium dioxide, an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO2, is a white solid or powdered amphoteric oxide with a molecular weight of 79.866. It has non-toxicity, optimal opacity, optimal whiteness and brightness, and it is considered to be one of the best performing white pigments in the world today. Titanium dioxide has strong adhesion, is not easy to start chemical changes, and is always snow-white. It is widely used in paint, plastic, paper making, printing ink, chemical fiber, rubber, cosmetics and other industries. It has a high melting point and is also used to make refractory glass, glazes, enamel, terra cotta, and high-temperature resistant labware. Titanium dioxide can be extracted from rutile by acid decomposition or obtained by decomposition of titanium tetrachloride. There are three isotopic forms of titanium dioxide in nature: rutile, anatase and titanium plate, in addition to several synthetic crystal forms.

APPLICATION FIELDS

1.Industrial application

Titanium dioxide is an important white pigment and porcelain glaze. It is used in paint, ink, plastic, rubber, paper, chemical fiber, watercolor pigment and other industries.

Titanium dioxide is the whitest thing in the world, 1 gram of titanium dioxide can be more than 450 square centimeters of the area coated with snow white. It is 5 times whiter than the commonly used white pigment, zinc barium white, so it is the best pigment for modulating white paint. In order to make the color of the plastic lighten, so that the rayon shine soft, sometimes also need to add titanium dioxide.

In the rubber industry, titanium dioxide is also used as the filler of white rubber.

2. Food application

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration stipulates that titanium dioxide can be used as a white pigment in all food products, and the maximum usage amount is 1g/kg. titanium dioxide, a pigment additive, can be safely used in general coloring food products.

3.Environmental protection

Air purification

Titanium dioxide, as a catalyst for light coating pigments, is not only an environmentally safe cleaning agent, but also can play a role in saving energy and protecting environmental resources.

Sunscreen cosmetics

From the development trend of sunscreen cosmetics, one is inorganic sunscreen instead of organic sunscreen, and the other is bionic sunscreen. The latter cost is large, now difficult to promote, the former price is moderate, and sunscreen performance is superior, and therefore is generally favorable. In particular, nanometer titanium dioxide, due to superior performance and application prospects, and therefore the development momentum and market potential is better.
