Introduction to Titanium Dioxide and Its Industrial Significance
Titanium dioxide (TiO₂), particularly rutile titanium dioxide R996 and nano titanium dioxide variants, has emerged as an indispensable material across numerous industries. This white pigment, known chemically as titanium dioxide e in manufacturing specifications, serves as a critical component due to its exceptional light-scattering properties, UV resistance, and chemical stability. The CAS number for titanium dioxide (13463-67-7) identifies this compound in global chemical registries.
Global titanium dioxide production exceeded 7 million metric tons in 2023, with market projections indicating 4.7% CAGR through 2030. The titanium dioxide cost structure has been influenced by rising energy expenses and raw material constraints, driving innovations in production efficiency. As industries increasingly adopt sustainable manufacturing practices, the titanium dioxide co2 emission footprint has become a key development focus.

Technical Expertise: FAQ with Industry Specialists
R996 refers specifically to rutile TiO₂ with surface treatment optimized for durability in outdoor applications. This grade offers superior chalk resistance and gloss retention compared to anatase or untreated rutile grades, with a typical TiO₂ content of 94-97% and balanced oil absorption around 18g/100g.
Nano particles (
The titanium dioxide ph in dispersion significantly affects colloidal stability. Most commercial TiO₂ has natural pH between 6.5-8.0; acidic applications require surface modification. Our detergent-grade products feature pH-stable alumina coatings to maintain neutral characteristics in formulations.
Chloride process produces brighter pigments with better particle size control; sulfate process offers cost advantages. For high-durability applications like coil coatings, chloride route R996 is essential. Our technical team can advise on optimal grade selection based on your formulation requirements.
Key parameters include certified purity (free of heavy metals), consistent optical properties (L* > 98.5), and controlled oil absorption. Our specialized grade meets the specific rheological requirements of liquid formulations while offering excellent suspension stability.
When activated by UV radiation, ti02 titanium dioxide generates electron-hole pairs that create reactive oxygen species. This mechanism is utilized in self-cleaning surfaces, air purification systems, and antimicrobial coatings. The anatase crystal form exhibits higher photocatalytic activity.
Leading manufacturers have implemented three strategic approaches: 1) Process optimization reducing energy intensity, 2) Renewable energy integration in production facilities, and 3) Advanced chlorine recycling technology in chloride process plants. Hebei Caiqing facilities have achieved ISO 14064-1 carbon certification.
