R960, a rare earth element with a unique set of properties, is playing an increasingly important role in the field of technology. Its applications are diverse and far-reaching, from the production of high-performance magnets for wind turbines to the development of advanced electronic devices.
An inorganic chemical, titanium dioxide is used as a dye to help products achieve a certain appearance, including whitening a product. Some experts and publications have described it as being akin to a paint primer that's used before the color is added to food in order to give products a uniform shine. Its presence is common in many items beyond Skittles including coffee creamers, cake mixes, and chewing gum. It's also used for pigment and in cosmetics manufacturing.
Rutile titanium dioxide, a mineral with the chemical formula TiO2, is highly valued in various industries for its exceptional properties. Its high refractive index and brightness make it an ideal pigment for paints, plastics, paper, inks, and other products. Due to these characteristics, rutile titanium dioxide is in high demand, prompting numerous manufacturers worldwide to specialize in its production.
1. Understanding Titanium Dioxide
Polyvinyl Butyral Resin (PVB) is a solvent Resin synthesized by the acetal reaction of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and butyraldehyde in contact with coal.
Because Pvb Resin itself contains a lot of hydroxyl groups, it can bridge with some thermosetting resins to improve the properties of chemicals and film hardness.
Because PVB resin has the above excellent characteristics, it is widely used in adhesive safety glass intermediate film of automobile and building, rust cutting primer, baking paint, wood paint, printing ink, adhesive of electronic ceramics and printed circuit board, adhesive between metal and metal, between metal and plastic, modifier of hot-melt adhesive, iron dimension waterproof processing of textile, etc. A variety of new industrial applications are also continuously developed and applied.
The general characteristics of PVB are as follows:
The appearance of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin is white spherical porous particles or powder, and its specific gravity is 1:1; However, the filling density is only 0.20 ~ 0.35g/ml.
Thermal properties
The glass transfer temperature (TG) of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin ranges from 50 ℃ of low degree of recombination to 90 ℃ of high degree of recombination; The glass transfer temperature can also be adjusted by adding an appropriate amount of Plasticizer to reduce it below 10 ℃.
Mechanical properties
The coating of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) resin has good water resistance, water resistance and oil resistance (it is resistant to aliphatic, mineral, animal and vegetable oils, but not to sesame oil). PVB is widely used in printing inks and coatings because it contains high hydroxyl groups and has good dispersibility to pigments.
In addition, its chemical structure contains both hydrophobic acetal and acetic ACID groups and hydrophilic hydroxyl groups, so PVB has good adhesion to glass, metal, plastic, leather and wood.
Chemical reaction
Any chemical that can react with secondary alcohol will also react with PVB. Therefore, in many applications of PVB, it is often used with thermosetting resin to bridge and harden with the hydroxyl group of PVB, so as to achieve the characteristics of chemical resistance, solvent resistance and water resistance.
Of course, films with different characteristics (such as hardness, toughness, impact resistance, etc.) can be prepared according to different types of thermosetting resin and different mixing ratio with PVB.

Safety properties
The use of barium sulfate boards is not limited to conventional radiography; it extends to advanced imaging techniques such as fluoroscopy and computed tomography (CT). During a fluoroscopic procedure, real-time images are captured as the patient swallows or is injected with the barium solution, allowing for the observation of the GI tract's dynamic processes such as peristalsis and the opening of sphincters.
Import and export data
According to customs data, the cumulative import volume of titanium dioxide from January to November 2022 is about 116200 tons, a decrease of 34.06% over the same period last year, and the import volume is about 60000 tons; It is estimated that the annual import volume will be 120000 tons, about 70000 tons less than last year. The domestic market demand is weak, and the import of titanium dioxide in China has declined significantly. The new capacity of domestic chlorinated titanium dioxide increased, and the high-end titanium dioxide imported from abroad decreased accordingly.
According to customs data, from January to November 2022, the total export volume of titanium dioxide was about 1279100 tons, an increase of 8.58% over the same period last year, and the export volume increased by about 101100 tons. The export market maintained a stable and rising trend, and the annual export volume is expected to be 1.38 million tons. The export situation in the first half of the year was better than that in the second half, and the overall export market maintained an increasing trend.
Capacity output
According to public data, the cumulative output of titanium dioxide from January to November 2022 is about 3.5755 million tons, up 3% over the same period of last year, with an increase of about 96400 tons, and the annual output is expected to be 3.9 million tons. The enterprises that have increased the output of titanium dioxide this year are mainly, an increase of 11%
The output growth rate was 2%. This year, the newly launched enterprises CITIC Titanium Industry, Yibin Tianyuan, Shengwei Fuquan and Xianghai Titanium Industry had a significant increase in output compared with last year, and the output of more than 20 small and medium-sized enterprises in the market decreased by different degrees compared with last year.

On the whole, affected by the economic pressure this year, the sales volume of real estate has gradually declined this year, and the national infrastructure investment index has also continued to decline. The demand growth of the downstream coating industry will slow down. At present, the purchase restriction policy of real estate has been cancelled, and in November, a trillion yuan of large state-owned banks rushed to help the real estate industry, which is good for the current market to a certain extent.
