R6618 Rutile Jinhai Titanium Dioxide

Product Description

Titanium dioxide (TiOšš) is a white, opaque powder that is widely used as a pigment due to its high refractive index and strong UV light-absorbing properties. Here are some key characteristics and uses of titanium dioxide:

Properties:

• Appearance: Cauliflower-like white powder.
• Chemical Formula: TiOšš.
• Molar Mass: 79.88 g/mol.
• Density: Approximately 4.23 g/cm3
• Melting Point: 1,843 deg C (3,349 deg F).
• Solubility: Insoluble in water and organic solvents.

Types:

• Anatase: Less stable than rutile; used in photocatalysis and sunscreen formulations.
• Rutile: More stable and commonly used as a pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics.

Uses:

• Pigment: The primary use of titanium dioxide is as a white pigment in paints, coatings, plastics, and paper due to its brightness and opacity.
• Sunscreen: It is used in cosmetics and sunscreens for its ability to reflect UV light.
• Food Additive: In some regions, it is used as a food colouring agent (E171).
• Photocatalyst: Employed in various processes, including water purification and air treatment
