Company CoverageTitanium dioxide is most easily available form of titanium. It is also known as titania with chemical formula TiO2. Titanium dioxide is comprised of many properties such as density, high refractive index, ultraviolet absorbing, inert, non toxic, high melting point, etc.
There are various applications of titanium dioxide in different industries. It is used for many purposes such as white pigments, sunscreen, photocatalyst, addition ingredient in cement and tiles, and as self cleaning ingredient. Titanium dioxide is generally prepared by two processes: chloride process and sulfate process. In chloride process, titanium dioxide is extracted from its ore after chlorinated at 1000° with carbon and chlorine gas. Whereas in sulfate process, ilmenite is treated with sulphuric acid and titanium oxygen sulfate.
The global titanium dioxide market is expected to increase at high growth rates during the forecasted period (2017-2021). The global titanium dioxide market is supported by various growth drivers, such as growing pressure on Chinese producers, increasing housing market, increasing use of TiO2 in ceramic production, etc. Yet, the market faces certain challenges, such as, competitive pricing pressure, escalation in feedstock ore cost, etc. Few new market trends are also provided such as, increasing doped TiO2 nanomaterial penetration, capacity expansion in major pulp-producing countries and new areas of application, etc.
