nanoscale titanium dioxide manufacturers

The primary factor that affects the price of titanium dioxide is its production method. There are two main methods for producing titanium dioxide the chloride process and the sulfate process. The chloride process involves heating ilmenite ore in a furnace to produce titanium tetrachloride, which is then purified and reduced to titanium metal. This method produces high-quality titanium dioxide with a low impurity level, making it more expensive than the sulfate process.

  • Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), commonly known as titanium white, is a widely used pigment due to its exceptional brightness and high refractive index. Among the various crystalline forms of TiO2, the rutile type has garnered significant attention for its unique characteristics and extensive applications.
  • Though the regulated use of titanium dioxide in food products is legal in the U.S. and Canada, it's banned in some other countries, notably throughout Europe. In May 2021, the European Food Safety Authority announced that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive.
