The main uses of titanium dioxide

Titanium dioxide, for the relevant people of the chemical industry is not unfamiliar, titanium dioxide is currently the world's best performance of the white pigment, mainly used in plastics, coatings, paper, ink, chemical fiber, cosmetics and other industries, the following to give you a detailed introduction to the main uses of titanium dioxide.

The main uses of titanium dioxide

First, coating industry: the paint made of titanium dioxide, bright color, high hiding power, coloring power, consumption province, variety, the stability of the medium can play a protective role, and can enhance the mechanical strength and adhesion of the paint film, prevent cracks, prevent ultraviolet light and water through, prolong the life of the paint film.

Two, plastic industry: Add titanium dioxide in plastic, can improve the heat resistance, light resistance, weather resistance of plastic products, improve the physical and chemical properties of plastic products, enhance the mechanical strength of products, extend the service life.

Three, paper industry: as a paper filler, mainly used in high-grade paper and thin paper. Adding titanium dioxide to the paper can make the paper with good whiteness, good luster, high strength, thin and smooth, printing does not penetrate, light quality. Papermaking titanium dioxide generally uses anatase titanium dioxide without surface treatment, can play the role of fluorescent brightening agent, increase the whiteness of paper. But laminated paper requires the use of surface treated rutile titanium dioxide, in order to meet the requirements of light and heat resistance.

Four, advanced ink: containing titanium dioxide ink durable does not change color, surface wettability is good, easy to disperse. The ink industry used titanium dioxide rutile type, also anatase type.
