Titanium Oxide Rutile Pigment

Titanium Oxide Rutile Pigment is a high-performance white pigment in very widespread use for brightness, high refractive index, and opacity in a wide variety of applications. This makes the rutile form, being the most abundant form of TiO2, higher in stability and resistant to degradation by UV compared to other forms. Hence, the pigments are an indispensable ingredient in paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetic products. Its excellent coverage assures bright, long-lasting colors everywhere. Its photocatalytic activity is significantly suppressed, being an extremely effective UV blocker, which additionally increases its value for outdoor applications.

The Titanium Oxide Rutile Pigment has gained favor due to the superior qualities of dispersion and the capability of the pigment to maintain white over time. It is generally used in paint industries as an essential additive, having effects on opacity, durability, and giving a smooth finish. In plastics, it adds brightness and resistance to wear and weathering. It is also highly applied in cosmetic industries, ranging from a filling character in sunscreens to the smoothness in makeup. Because it is inert and nontoxic, personal care products involving this material are safe and effective.

This pigment, produced by the sulfate process, gives very high-purity products, thereby responding to the rigid specifications required in many uses. Titanium Oxide Rutile Pigment ensures super performance both in industrial and consumer applications.

Chemical appearance:
Titanium dioxide is a tasteless, odorless white powder. It can also exist in three crystalline forms

Chemical application and strengths:
Polyvinyl alcohol has quality adhesive and emulsifying properties. It has high flexibility and tensile strength. It is insoluble and resists organic solvents, grease, and oil. It has strongaroma and high oxygen barrier properties. Most of these properties are dependent on humidity levels with high levels reducing its tensile strength.

PVA is used in several areas, as follows:

• • Titanium Dioxide CR350 shows excellent processibility, marvelous dispersion and enhanced durability.

• • CR350 is manufactured using the chloride process and presents low volatility when combined with most of the other common industrial chemicals.

• • CR350 is able to handle high temperatures and can be used in various production processes in this condition.

• • Despite being white, the compound has a blue undertone, which makes it a good additive in coloring in plastic, and PVC materials.

• • One of the main uses of Titanium (IV) oxide is its use in titanium pigment manufacturing. The pigment is used in a number of applications that include in special inks and paints, especially the water-based paints.

R-350 Titanium Dioxide Recommended Applications:

• • Plastics

• • High end decorative paint

• • Automotive repair paint

• • Ink

• • Industrial Paint

Other Uses of Titanium Dioxide:

• • Titanium dixoxide is used to make leather finishes as well as shoe whiteners.

• • In ceramics, it is used in coloring of porcelain enamels, ceramic glazes and plastics. Besides, rutile is used a ceramic coolant for ceramic parts that are exposed to high temperatures.

• • Titanium dioxide is also a strong filming agent in a number of applications.

• • One of the most popular uses is the filming of pharmaceutical products that include tablets and capsules.

• • It is also used for making external PVC coatings for pipes and other materials exposed to weather elements. This is because it has a high resistance to UV rays and other foul weather elements.

• • In addition, titanium dioxide also makes for a good tinting material for such materials such as dielectric mirrors, cosmetics and decorative plastics.

• Its resistance to UV rays makes is a good additive to sunscreen creams and UV control products.
