factory tio2 powder rutile titanium dioxide

The disadvantage of Titanium Dioxide is that it's not cosmetically elegant, meaning it's a white, unspreadable mess. Sunscreens containing Titanium Dioxide are often hard to spread on the skin and they leave a disturbing whitish tint. The cosmetic industry is, of course, really trying to solve this problem and the best solution so far is using nanoparticles. The itsy-bitsy Nano-sized particles improve both spreadability and reduce the whitish tint a lot, but unfortunately, it also introduces new health concerns.

Micronized TiO2 factories employ sophisticated processes that ensure a consistent product with precise particle size distribution. The production process begins with raw ore extraction, followed by beneficiation to remove impurities. The refined ore then goes through a chemical process that converts it into titanium dioxide. This conversion typically involves the sulfate or chloride process, where the ore reacts with sulfuric acid or chlorine gas, respectively.
