What is titanium dioxide?

Titanium dioxide has chemical formula TiO2 and it is white pigment that has very high coverage. This means that it takes a very small amount of titanium dioxide to increase coverage of coating, which makes a real difference when it comes to titanium dioxide uses in bleaching and wall painting of metal interiors.

Titanium dioxide manufacturers also point out to significant quality of titanium dioxide for lighting, what can be observed in significant lighting of white or black color on materials, with very small amount of titanium dioxide pigment. Additionally, titanium dioxide pigment protects material, so it is added to prevent weather damage or light damage.

First commercial production of titanium dioxide begun in 1918 in Norway, in the company called Titan Co. USA manufacturers are focusing their titanium dioxide production in two commercially most interesting forms: anatase and rutile titanium dioxide.

When did titanium dioxide manufacturing begin?

In the beginning, manufacturers could produce only anatase titanium dioxide pigment . This pigment was very photo-sensitve and quickly changed color under influence of sun and started to become chalky. Rutile pigment was first manufactured in Titangeselschaft in Leverkusen, Germany, in 1939. This pigment had much better covering power and better resistance to light and weather conditions.

What Are Titanium Dioxide Uses?Titanium dioxide has numerous

uses. It is used for pigmentation of paints and varnish. These products have much better coverage quality with titanium dioxide. Simply put, paint or varnish with titanium dioxide requires less coats. This paint is more resistant to weather influence.

Titanium dioxide pigment in ink assures high coverage and ability to lighten, but also has the necessary size of particles that is less than printed layer. This is important both for printing on paper and on fabric.

Titanium dioxide is added to plastics to increase resistance to outer influence, but it also has decorative role. In some cases, titanium dioxide is added to assure mechanical or electric features.

Titanium dioxide is additive in rubber manufacture. Senior citizens surely remember that in the past wheel rubber would be spent after just a year or two. These days, titanium dioxide significantly adds to prolonged life and resistance of all rubber wheels.

Materials used to manufacture artificial fibers are colorless and transparent. Considering that this is not acceptable for clothing fabric, these fibers have to be darkened. Besides, artificial fibers generally have unpleasantly sparkly surface. Titanium dioxide significantly decreases this unpleasant quality.

Titanium dioxide in glass increases permeability of infrared and decreases permeability of UV rays, and it also decreases loss of paint due to influence of sunlight on stained glass. This improves chemical stability and also gives special color to glass.

Titanium dioxide is being added to covering layer of enamel to increase resistance to abrasion and heat shock, and to decrease influence of liquid fermentation in the tank.
