anatase titanium dioxide in coatings supplier

After settling, the clear solution containing the titanium oxide, is run oil andfurther processed, whereby a roduct is obtained containing approximate y 35 per cent titanium oxide, 2 per cent sulphuric acid and 63 per cent of water. This product is known in the trade as titanium acid cake. It is a plastic mags having somewhat the consistency of mu 1 ljha've discovered that lithopone can be greatly improved by the suitable use of this titanium acid cake, and that the results obtained are dependent to a large extent upon the methods'by which this titanium acid cake is used,'in the production of lithopone.

The refractive index, represented by the letter n, of a material describes how light propagates through and is bent by, that material. The magnitude of the refractive index, depending upon the electronic structure of the molecules, governs to what extent the path of light changes, when entering or leaving a material.

Particles in a matrix, like pigment particles surrounded by the binder system in a coating, ink or plastic, can change the propagation direction of light when the particles and the matrix have a different refractive index. This phenomenon, called scattering, results in both white color (provided that the particles do not absorb visible light) and the hiding power of the coating.
