What Is Titanium Dioxide

Titanium dioxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula TiO2, and its appearance is white powder. It is non-toxic, best opacity, best whiteness and brilliance. TiO2 has many excellent properties, such as photocatalysis, semi-permanence, hydrophilicity, acid and alkali resistance, responsiveness to different visible light, weather resistance, and oxidation resistance. So TiO2 powder is widely used in plastics, coatings, paper, printing ink, chemical fiber, rubber, cosmetics and other industries.

Titanium dioxide products are generally classified into rutile and anatase grades based on crystal structure, and are produced through either the sulfate process or the chloride process. Among them, rutile titanium dioxide pigment is the preferred choice for demanding applications due to its superior weather resistance, opacity, and long-term performance.

Product Introduction of Titanium Dioxide Rutile & Anatase

TiO2 titanium dioxide has two main structures: titanium dioxide rutile (R type) and titanium dioxide anatase (A type). They both have good chemical stability at room temperature and are insoluble in water, fat, most dilute acids and alkalis. However, in long-term outdoor environments, due to the more stable crystal structure of rutile titanium dioxide, it has a stronger ability to resist chemical erosion in the environment and its chemical stability is slightly better than that of anatase TiO2.

(1) Rutile TiO2 pigment has a compact structure, is relatively stable, and has low optical activity, so it has good weather resistance. At the same time, rutile TiO2 has high hiding power and color reduction power, so it is widely used in high-end fields such as coatings, plastics, inks, papermaking, rubber, chemical fibers, cosmetics, etc.

(2) Compared with rutile TiO2, anatase type has relatively lower hiding power and whiteness, but has good dispersibility and is easy to process. And anatase TiO2 is mainly used in low-end plastics, architectural coatings, paper and other fields.

(3) The melting point of anatase titanium dioxide  pigment is as high as 1500℃, but under high temperature environment (above 400℃), it will gradually transform into rutile type and gradually turn yellow. While the melting point of rutile TiO2 is about 1850℃, and it has stronger thermal stability and is not prone to crystal transformation and color change at high temperature.

Main Uses of TiO2 Pigment

  • Coating Industry. Titanium dioxide is an essential pigment for architectural coatings, industrial coatings, automotive paints, powder coatings, and protective coatings. It enhances opacity, brightness, durability, and weather resistance.
  • Plastics Industry.In PVC, PE, PP, ABS, and engineering plastics, titanium dioxide improves whiteness, surface appearance, UV resistance, and long-term durability.
  • Printing Inks. Titanium dioxide pigment provides excellent opacity, color strength, and print quality, making it widely used in packaging inks, gravure inks, offset inks, and specialty printing applications.
  • Paper Industry. The addition of titanium dioxide improves paper brightness, opacity, printability, and overall visual appeal.
  • Food Industry. As a food white pigment, titanium dioxide can be used to color foods such as preserved fruits, jellies, fried foods, chocolate, etc. The usage should generally not exceed 1% of the weight of the food.
  • Cosmetics Industry. The product can be used to replace lead white and zinc white in almost all kinds of perfume powders. We only need to add 5% to 8% of titanium dioxide to perfume powder to get permanent white, making the perfume more smooth, adhesive, absorbent and covering.
  • Rubber and Fiber Applications. Titanium dioxide enhances product appearance, whiteness, and resistance to aging in rubber goods and synthetic fibers.

Main Performance Characteristics Market and Cost Production Process

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment is an important inorganic compound with a variety of unique performance characteristics that make it widely used in many fields. Here are some of the main performance characteristics of titanium dioxide:

(1) High refractive index. TiO₂ powder has a very high refractive index, which makes it an excellent optical material. In areas such as coatings, inks and plastics, it can provide excellent hiding power and color saturation.

(2) Chemical stability. The product is stable to most chemicals at room temperature, including acids, bases and many organic solvents. This gives it a long service life in applications such as coatings, pigments and catalysts.

(3) Photocatalytic properties. Titanium dioxide powder exhibits excellent photocatalytic properties under ultraviolet light. This property makes it widely used in areas such as environmental purification (such as degrading organic pollutants and killing bacteria) and energy conversion (such as solar cells).

(4) Ultraviolet absorption. TiO₂ pigment can strongly absorb ultraviolet rays, so it is often used as an active ingredient in sunscreens and other sun protection products. It can effectively prevent ultraviolet damage to the skin and reduce skin aging and other related health problems.

(5) Semiconductor properties. This chemical is a wide bandgap semiconductor material with excellent electrical properties. It can be used as a key material in fields such as solar cells, sensors and photoconductors.

(6) Thermal stability. Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) can maintain stable performance even at high temperatures, which makes it widely used in fields such as high-temperature coatings, ceramics and glass.

(7) Non-toxic and harmless. It is a non-toxic and harmless compound that has a wide range of applications in fields such as food, cosmetics and medicine.


Market Positioning. Due to its performance characteristics, anatase titanium dioxide primarily targets the low- and mid-range markets where weather resistance is less demanding. On the other hand, due to its superior performance, rutile titanium dioxide is more targeted at the high-end market, especially in outdoor and high-performance applications.

Production Cost. Generally speaking, the production process for rutile titanium dioxide is more complex, requiring higher raw material and process control. The production cost is relatively higher than that of anatase titanium dioxide, and therefore its market price is generally higher.

The core of the titanium dioxide production process involves purifying titanium-containing raw materials such as ilmenite and rutile ore through chemical reactions and physical separation, converting them into high-purity titanium dioxide powder. Currently, the chloride process accounts for a growing share of global titanium dioxide production capacity annually, but the sulfuric acid process still holds a significant position in some regions due to its adaptability to raw materials and relatively low equipment investment. The differences in the technical approaches of these two processes directly determine the performance characteristics and application scenarios of titanium dioxide. For example, the titanium dioxide produced by the sulfuric acid process is suitable for mid- and low-end coatings and plastics, while the chloride process has advantages in high-end coatings, chemical fibers, and other fields.

(1) Sulfuric Acid Method

Generally speaking, They all can be produced using the sulfuric acid method, sharing similarities in the process, including titanium ore crushing, acid hydrolysis, purification, hydrolysis, and calcination. However, during the calcination stage, temperature and other conditions can be controlled to produce different crystal forms. Lower temperatures favor anatase, while higher temperatures favor rutile.

(2) Chlorination Method

In the chlorination method, producing rutile titanium dioxide requires more precise process control, such as a specific reaction temperature and the addition of nucleating agents to promote the formation of rutile crystals. However, the process parameters for producing anatase titanium dioxide differ from those for rutile, making it relatively easier to control and produce the anatase crystal form.
