Titanium Oxides

Titanium dioxide, an oxide of titanium, is a snow-white powder that makes the best white pigment, commonly known as titanium dioxide. In the past, people mined titanium ore, the main purpose is to obtain titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide has a strong adhesive force and is not easy to change chemically, so it will always be snow-white. Particularly valuable is that titanium dioxide is non-toxic. It has a very high melting point and is used to make refractory glass, glazes, enamel, terra cotta, and high-temperature resistant labware.

Titanium dioxide is the world's whitest thing, l grams of titanium dioxide can be more than 450 square centimeters of the area coated with snow white. It is 5 times whiter than the commonly used white pigment - zinc barium white, so it is the best pigment to make white paint. Titanium dioxide used as pigment in the world, more than hundreds of thousands of tons a year. Titanium dioxide can be added to the paper to make the paper white and opaque, the effect is 10 times greater than other substances, therefore, banknote paper and art paper should be added titanium dioxide. In addition, in order to lighten the color of plastic, so that the rayon shine soft, sometimes also need to add titanium dioxide.
