tio2 used in plastic factories

Rutile titanium dioxide, identified by its unique crystal structure, is renowned for its exceptional brightness and high refractive index. These properties are further enhanced in the R-906 grade, which is meticulously processed to provide superior performance in printing inks. The R-906 pigment boasts a uniform particle size distribution, ensuring optimal coverage and consistent color reproduction. Its fine particles seamlessly blend with the ink's binder system, resulting in a smooth, homogeneous mixture that yields crisp, vivid prints.

The use of TIO2 in water treatment facilities harnesses the power of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), which involve the generation of hydroxyl radicals that can decompose a wide range of organic pollutants. When exposed to ultraviolet light, TIO2 triggers a reaction that not only breaks down contaminants such as pesticides and pharmaceuticals but also facilitates disinfection by destroying harmful microorganisms without producing harmful byproducts.

  • The year 2016 had shown a strong rebound of China’s TiO2 business in general, according to market intelligence firm CCM. The market situation in 2015 was quite depressed, while in 2016 huge price rises have benefited the financial performance of China’s manufacturers.

  • Overall, the Food Directorate's comprehensive review of the available science of TiO2 as a food additive showed:

  • The availability of other white pigments poses a major challenge for the Lithopone market during the forecast period. Other alternatives to Lithopone include Zinc White, Titanium Dioxide, Calcium Carbonate, Blanc Fixe, and Barytes. The use of TiO2 has reduced the commercial significance of the Lithopone in the pigments industry.
