A high-brightness Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) pigment, available in rutile and anatase forms, used primarily in the ceramics industry for its excellent opacity, whiteness, and thermal stability.
Key Benefits for Ceramic Applications:
Titanium Dioxide Pigment is used as an opacifier and color brightener in ceramic glazes, frits, and enamels. It provides high refractive index and strong light scattering, resulting in brilliant whiteness and uniform surface finish. Owing to its chemical inertness and stability at high firing temperatures, TiO₂ enhances glaze durability, improves resistance to discoloration, and maintains color consistency in both traditional and industrial ceramics.
Other Applications of Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂):
- Paints & Coatings:
Used as a white pigment providing exceptional opacity, brightness, and UV resistance. Enhances color strength and weather durability in architectural and industrial coatings. - Plastics:
Acts as an opacifier and whitening agent in PVC, masterbatches, and engineering plastics. Improves color uniformity, gloss, and resistance to photo-degradation. - Paper:
Used as a coating and filler pigment to improve brightness, opacity, and printability of high-grade papers. - Cosmetics:
Provides whiteness and UV protection in products like sunscreens, face powders, and creams; valued for its non-reactive and safe profile. - Textiles:
Used as a delustrant in synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester) to reduce gloss and enhance fabric texture. - Rubber:
Enhances whiteness, opacity, and UV resistance in rubber compounds, improving aging properties. - Food & Pharmaceuticals (select grades):
Serves as a colorant (E171) in coatings, capsules, and confectionery, subject to regional regulatory approvals.
