Titanium Dioxide, commonly referred to as Titania, is a white, opaque mineral with the chemical formula TiO₂. Found in nature, it primarily exists in two crystalline forms: Rutile and Anatase.
- Rutile Titanium Dioxide: Renowned for its high dispersion, exceptional weather resistance, superior covering power, and stability, making it ideal for outdoor and industrial applications. It has a higher hardness, density, and refractive index compared to Anatase, making it the most stable crystalline form.
- Anatase Titanium Dioxide: Known for its excellent light scattering, heat resistance, and chemical stability. While it offers good covering power and dispersion, its weather resistance is slightly lower than Rutile. Anatase is widely used in industries where superior whiteness and light resistance are key.
Titanium Dioxide’s unique properties make it an indispensable ingredient in a wide range of industries, from coatings and plastics to cosmetics and textiles.
