13463-67-7 titanium dioxide using for coating suppliers

In conclusion, while both lithopone and titanium dioxide have their advantages and disadvantages, TiO2 appears to be the better choice for most applications. Its superior whiteness, UV protection properties, and chemical stability make it a popular choice in the paint, plastics, and paper industries. However, for applications where cost and safety are primary concerns, lithopone may still be a viable option. Ultimately, the choice between these two pigments will depend on the specific requirements of the application and the desired balance of performance and cost.

Both 28B301 and 30B311 are white pigments with high brightness and excellent covering power. They are commonly used in coatings, plastics, rubber, and paper industries. The main difference between these two grades lies in their particle size distribution. 28B301 has a smaller particle size, resulting in higher opacity and better dispersion. On the other hand, 30B311 has a larger particle size, which makes it more suitable for applications that require good rheological properties.

In 1970, Japanese scholars studied the phase diagram of iron oxide microcrystalline formation, which laid a theoretical foundation for the preparation method of iron oxide yellow crystal seed. According to the research results, iron yellow crystal seeds can be formed under acidic or alkaline conditions. Because iron yellow is a crystal structure, in order to crystallize into pigment particles, it must first form crystal nucleus and become crystal seed, and then the crystal nucleus grows into iron yellow. Otherwise, only thin and dim color paste can be obtained, which does not have pigment properties. Acid process can be divided into iron sheet process and drop addition process.

The price trendss for titanium dioxide kept on the lower side of the scale during the first half of 2023. As the paint and coatings industries reduced their offtakes,  the abundant supply of the product in the market led to a fall in prices. The prices also suffered from falling energy costs and declining freight charges. Further, the rising speculations of a global recession caused manufacturers to participate actively in destocking.
