titan tio2 supplier

Titanium dioxide is a naturally-occurring mineral found in the earth’s crust. Because of its white color, opaqueness, and ability to refract light, the ingredient is often used as a pigment, brightener, and opacifier, which is an ingredient that makes a formulation more opaque. Titanium dioxide is also a UV filter and so is an effective active ingredient in sunscreens. It’s often used in cosmetic loose and pressed powders, especially “mineral powder” cosmetics, in addition to other cosmetics, lotions, toothpaste, and soap.

The primary function of TiO2 in pigment production is its exceptional ability to provide brightness and opacity. When added to paints or coatings, it enhances their hiding power by reflecting light back to the observer's eye. This property not only improves the aesthetic appeal of the product but also reduces the amount of colorant needed, resulting in cost savings for manufacturers. Moreover, TiO2's high refractive index ensures that even small quantities can significantly impact the final appearance of the product.
