Titanium dioxide ---- Create Beautiful Life

Titanium dioxide may sound unfamiliar to ordinary Chinese people, but to put it another way, latex paint is not unfamiliar to everyone! Titanium dioxide is an important inorganic chemical pigment, mainly composed of titanium dioxide. There are two production processes for titanium dioxide: sulfuric acid method and chlorination method. It is one of the indispensable and important raw materials in industrial development and daily life.

The titanium dioxide industry in China began in the mid-1950s. With the continuous development of the titanium dioxide industry, more and more brands are recognized by humans. China accounts for 30% of the world's total titanium dioxide production capacity and is the world's largest titanium dioxide producing country. In 2011, the total national titanium dioxide production capacity was about 2.6 million tons. In summary, the quality of titanium dioxide produced in China has improved, which can meet the demand of most downstream products in China. While replacing some imported products, it also increases the export volume.

The main application fields of titanium dioxide include coatings, plastics, inks, and papermaking, with coatings accounting for 60%, plastics accounting for 20%, papermaking accounting for 14%, and other fields (including cosmetics, chemical fibers, electronics, ceramics, enamel, welding rods, alloys, glass, etc.) accounting for 6%.

Titanium dioxide is not only used as a colorant in the rubber industry, but also has reinforcing, anti-aging, and filling effects. Adding titanium dioxide powder to white and colored rubber products, it is resistant to sunlight, does not crack, does not change color, has a high elongation rate, and is resistant to acid and alkali when exposed to sunlight. However, for the production of automotive tires, a certain amount of rutile type products are often added to enhance their resistance to ozone and ultraviolet radiation.

Titanium dioxide is also increasingly widely used in cosmetics. Due to the non-toxic nature of titanium dioxide, which is far superior to lead white, almost all types of fragrance powders use titanium dioxide instead of lead white and zinc white. Titanium dioxide powder can reduce the feeling of greasy and transparent in water powder and cold cream. Titanium dioxide can also be used in various other spices, sunscreen, soap, white soap, and toothpaste.
