anatase pigment

② Plastics: At present, it is the second largest user of titanium dioxide pigments, accounting for about 20% of the total demand for titanium dioxide. The amount of titanium dioxide used in plastic products will vary with the use requirements, generally between 0.5% and 5%. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, the production of plastic products in China increased from 57.81 million tons in 2012 to 81.84 million tons in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 5.1%. The amount of titanium dioxide increases accordingly.

In addition to environmental sustainability, TiO2 technology manufacturers are also focused on improving the performance and quality of TiO2 products
tio2
tio2 technology manufacturers. By utilizing advanced technologies, such as nanotechnology and surface modification techniques, manufacturers are able to enhance the properties of TiO2, such as its UV resistance, dispersibility, and durability. These advancements allow TiO2 manufacturers to produce high-performance products that meet the diverse needs of their customers.

Application:
1. Due to its rheological and optical properties, Lithopone offers technical and economic advantages wherever organic and inorganic resin systems need to be relatively highly pigmented for specific applications. Lithopone has therefore traditionally been used in putties, mastics, jointing and sealing compounds, primers, undercoats and marking paints. In powder coatings it is possible to replace TiO2 partially, very economically.

2. The low Mohs' hardness of Lithopone leads to low abrasiveness in comparison with TiO2.

3. Lithopone 30 % (= 30% zinc sulfide share) is proven to be of particular use as a TiO2 Substitute in thermoplastic masterbatches. Even at very high pigment loadings it disperses easily. A masterbatch containing 50 % TiO2 and 25 % Lithopone 30 % DS has the same hiding power as one containing 60 %TiO2. Cost savings are strongly related to the price ratio of Lithopone and TiO2 and the price of for example polyethylene or polypropylene.

4. The Lithopone batch has a much higher extrusion rate too. Furthermore the impact strength of many thermoplastics such as PP and ABS can be noticeably improved by using Lithopone as a TiO2 substitute. Generally spoken, Lithopone can be used at loadings up to 80 % by weight without causing polymer breakdown

The rutile form of titanium dioxide is preferred over the anatase form because it offers superior hiding power and greater stability under various environmental conditions. Its coarser particle size and higher refractive index contribute to its excellent opacity, making it an ideal choice for hiding surfaces and providing a strong base for color consistency in coated products Its coarser particle size and higher refractive index contribute to its excellent opacity, making it an ideal choice for hiding surfaces and providing a strong base for color consistency in coated products Its coarser particle size and higher refractive index contribute to its excellent opacity, making it an ideal choice for hiding surfaces and providing a strong base for color consistency in coated products Its coarser particle size and higher refractive index contribute to its excellent opacity, making it an ideal choice for hiding surfaces and providing a strong base for color consistency in coated productsgood whiteness titanium dioxide rutile factory for coating factory.

  • Rutile titanium dioxideThis week, the domestic rutile titanium dioxide mainstream negotiation interval is stable, and the overall market center of gravity is up. As of the close of this week, the average price of the weekly rutile titanium dioxide national market assessment was 16,558 yuan/ton, up 288 yuan/ton from the average price last week, an increase of 1.77%, and the increase narrowed by 0.03 percentage points from last week. Within the week, the new single negotiation interval is still referred to 16000-17200 yuan/ton interval (different brands of rutile products). This week, the new single stable price of titanium dioxide factory, most of the early orders of the factory are sufficient, the downstream holiday one week before the festival, the new orders in the market are reduced, and the trading atmosphere is light.This week, the domestic industry started load of 76.92%, more stable than the previous period. Domestic manufacturers maintain normal production rhythm, industry output is relatively stable; From the inventory point of view, the mainstream factory inventory days are still less than 10-15 days, the mainstream manufacturers are in short supply, and the factories rush to deliver pre-holiday orders. In terms of orders, large manufacturers receive orders relatively better than small and medium-sized manufacturers.This week, some downstream stocks according to their own dosage, and the pace of transactions has slowed down. The holiday is approaching, some downstream have supplementary double section period just need to prepare goods, transaction link batch orders are less; In terms of external demand, according to Zhuo Chuang information, the price of new external demand also has some just need to order access, and the feedback of the production enterprise is that the current mainstream rutile titanium dioxide export new single transaction is more than reference in 2400-2500 US dollars/ton, and the quotation reference is more than 2500 US dollars/ton.
