china tio2 lattice structure

China's dominance in the titanium dioxide market is a testament to its robust industrial infrastructure and advanced chemical processing capabilities. According to industry reports, China accounts for more than half of the global titanium dioxide production, making it the largest producer and exporter of this pigment worldwide. This is largely due to the country's abundant reserves of titanium-bearing minerals, such as ilmenite and rutile, which are the primary raw materials for TiO2 production.

There are numerous manufacturers of titanium dioxide; the largest include Delaware-based Chemours (a spin-off of DuPont Chemical), Texas-based Kronos, and China-based Lomon Billions Group, all of which manufacture pigments for use in products like paints, coatings, and plastics. UK-based Venator is a major supplier of titanium dioxide used in food and cosmetics, along with paints, paper, plastic, and more. As a pigment, it is called Pigment White 6 (PW6), titanium white, or CI 77891. As a food additive, it is known as E171.
