Advantages and Disadvantages of Sulfate-Process and Chloride-Process Titanium Dioxide in Plastics
The plastics industry is the second-largest consumer of titanium dioxide, accounting for approximately 18% of global demand; it has been the fastest-growing sector for titanium dioxide applications in recent years, with an average annual growth rate of 6%. Among the more than 500 titanium dioxide grades available worldwide, over 50 are specifically designed for plastics. UPVC profiles—a major branch of the plastics industry and a key application area for titanium dioxide—have seen explosive growth in China over the past decade, expanding at an average annual rate of 10%. In 2008, national profile production totaled 3.8 million tonnes, consuming approximately 135,000 tonnes of rutile-grade titanium dioxide. Based on the 10% annual growth rate, the industry's titanium dioxide requirement rose to approximately 150,000 tonnes in 2009 and reached 165,000 tonnes in 2010. Incorporating titanium dioxide into plastics enhances the heat, light, and weather resistance of plastic products, improves their physicochemical properties, boosts mechanical strength, and extends their service life. Furthermore, as public awareness regarding environmental protection and energy conservation continues to grow, the trend of replacing steel with plastic is accelerating, and plastic products are playing an increasingly significant role in our daily lives. Titanium dioxide serves two primary functions in the plastics industry: first, it acts as a white pigment to provide opacity (white coloration); second, it serves as a UV-blocking agent, shielding against ultraviolet radiation and ensuring excellent weather resistance for plastic products intended for outdoor use. Titanium dioxide used in the production of general-purpose plastics does not require weather resistance; instead, the emphasis is placed on pigment performance characteristics. For plastic-grade titanium dioxide, requirements include fine particle size and good dispersibility, as well as excellent heat and light stability—ensuring no discoloration occurs during the heating involved in plastic molding or during the product's subsequent exposure to sunlight and use. Most titanium dioxide grades for plastics feature finer particle sizes; while titanium dioxide for coatings typically has a particle size of 0.2–0.4 μm, the grade for plastics ranges from 0.15 to 0.3 μm. This finer size produces a blue undertone, which helps mask the yellowness of resins that are naturally yellowish or prone to yellowing. Furthermore, replacing lithopone with titanium dioxide can reduce the consumption of white pigment by 50% to 70%. Comparison of Titanium Dioxide Produced via Two Processes for Plastic Applications It is understood that the titanium dioxide currently used in domestic plastic products—particularly high-end ones—is predominantly imported material produced via the chloride process. Chloride-process titanium dioxide is superior to sulfate-process titanium dioxide not only in superficial properties such as whiteness but also in terms of hiding power, dispersibility, and processability; it offers unparalleled advantages, especially for outdoor UPVC plastic profiles requiring rutile-grade products made via the chloride process. However, due to the specific characteristics of plastic products, the selection of titanium dioxide involves considerations that differ from those for coatings, inks, or paints. Decisions must be guided primarily by the technical requirements of the plastic products themselves; for instance, when dealing with specialized plastic-grade products, one must carefully select a titanium dioxide variant suited to the specific application to avoid compromising the product's performance.

Venator's titanium dioxide plant in Scarlino has been acquired by Nuova Solmine.
Venator’s Scarlino titanium dioxide plant acquired by Nuova Solmine; production to restart. LONDON (ICIS)—According to a letter sent to customers and seen by ICIS, Venator’s titanium dioxide (TiO2) plant in Scarlino, Italy, has been acquired by Nuova Solmine, a sulfuric acid producer based at the same site. The long-idled TiO2 plant is set to restart in January, with product sales commencing next month. At the time of writing, neither Venator nor Nuova Solmine has provided direct comment. This news marks a significant milestone in the restart of idled titanium dioxide (TiO2) capacity in Europe. The Scarlino plant—which has a nameplate capacity of 80,000 tonnes per year—was shut down several years ago due to environmental and waste-disposal issues, as well as market conditions. Nevertheless, for the reasons mentioned above, the Scarlino titanium dioxide (TiO2) plant had been operating at reduced capacity for some time prior to this. The acquisition has led to the creation of a new company, SOL.TIOX, which will produce and market sulfate-based titanium dioxide products from the Scarlino plant. Nuova Solmine has long been the supplier of sulfuric acid and utilities to the Scarlino plant. Over the past few months, the titanium dioxide (TiO2) and sulfuric acid markets have speculated about this potential acquisition and the prospects of the titanium dioxide plant resuming operations. Market participants in both sectors remained skeptical, however, given the challenging conditions in the titanium dioxide (TiO2) market and the industry's ongoing profitability issues. In the second half of 2025, Venator filed for bankruptcy across all its sites and operations.

Review Of Titanium dioxide price trend in June.2026
In early June, the titanium dioxide market showed a trend of stability with upward movement. Following the announcement by LB Group on June 5th of a price hike of 1,000 yuan per tonne, more than ten other producers—including Annada, Haifengxin, and Guocheng—successively announced similar increases of 1,000 yuan per tonne. Yang Xun, an industry analyst at Yantai Titanium, identifies two main reasons for these price hikes: 1. Prices for key raw materials—sulfur and sulfuric acid—in major production regions remain persistently high. The spot price of sulfur has approached 10,000 yuan per tonne, providing a cost floor for producers; consequently, some manufacturers have sought alternative supplies, such as acid derived from smelting by-products. 2. The outlook for overseas exports remains optimistic. Compared to the 3-to-6-month order lead times of major international producers, China’s titanium dioxide sector retains excess supply capacity. This has led to a significant influx of orders returning to Chinese suppliers; products made via the chloride process, in particular, hold a strong competitive advantage in replacing overseas brands. However, there are underlying concerns regarding the domestic market. As June progresses, the titanium dioxide market is entering its traditional off-season; demand has softened, trading activity is sluggish, and the volume of new orders is lackluster. While producers in the Southwest region have significantly lowered their market quotes—causing some price instability among a minority of domestic manufacturers—the sudden wave of price-hike notifications from over a dozen producers has served as a stabilizing force. The message "Stay calm—don't panic!" has undoubtedly injected confidence into the market and signaled the direction for future pricing. At this stage, manufacturers fall into three distinct groups: 1. Leading manufacturers, buoyed by a favorable export outlook and a solid backlog of orders—with over 60% of sales already secured—are highly confident in market pricing. Furthermore, producers relying on sulfur-based acid production face significant cost pressures and are intent on pushing through immediate price hikes. 2. Manufacturers primarily reliant on the domestic market have slightly lowered their ex-factory prices, clearly aiming to capture customers and orders by leveraging price advantages. 3. Manufacturers in the middle ground are largely opting to maintain stable prices while monitoring market conditions, remaining poised to act opportunistically and flexibly.

Titanium Dioxide Producers Raise Prices; Sector Stocks Rally
The titanium dioxide sector continues to strengthen; Jinpu Titanium hit the daily limit-up, while Huiyun Titanium, Guocheng Mining, Kuncai Technology, and LB Group followed suit with gains. In terms of market news, multiple titanium dioxide producers have recently announced price hikes. LB Group, a leading player in the industry, issued a price adjustment notice announcing an increase of 1,000 yuan per tonne for domestic titanium dioxide and 150 USD per tonne for export prices. More than ten other companies—including Huiyun Titanium, Lubei Chemical, and Jinhai Titanium—have subsequently raised their prices by similar margins. Industry analysts attribute the collective price hikes by titanium dioxide producers to several key factors. First, a sharp surge in raw material costs—driven by a spike in sulfur prices that prompted a shift toward substitutes and subsequently pushed up the prices of ore-based and smelting-derived acids—has significantly increased cost pressures. Second, leading enterprises initiated price adjustments, with over a dozen others quickly following suit; this created an atmosphere of collective price increases and demonstrated a strong determination to maintain price levels. Third, companies are proactively seeking to protect prices to safeguard their cost baselines; with most firms facing declining profitability and widening profit disparities—compounded by falling ferrous sulfate prices in some regions and factory-gate prices hovering near cost levels—there is little room for further price cuts, leading manufacturers to generally adopt a "wait-and-see" stance focused on holding prices firm. Finally, price adjustments have been driven by the interplay of supply and demand: while domestic end-user demand has weakened and spot supplies remain ample, raw material costs provide a rigid price floor; unable to drive price increases from the demand side, the persistent pressure from costs ultimately triggered a new round of price hikes.

Titanium Dioxide Prices Surge—What's Behind It?
The "butterfly effect" stemming from shipping uncertainties in the Strait of Hormuz is rapidly sweeping across the global chemical market. Driven by surging costs, the long-dormant domestic titanium dioxide market has witnessed a wave of price hikes since March. Reporters from *Securities Times* have learned from multiple sources—including industry leaders and stakeholders across the supply chain—that due to mounting cost pressures regarding sulfur and sulfuric acid, domestic titanium dioxide prices recorded three consecutive increases in March alone, with a cumulative rise reaching approximately 2,000 yuan per ton. Analysts point out that although the recent price hikes for titanium dioxide have partially taken effect, industry enterprises continue to face operational pressures due to high production costs; consequently, the bullish trend in the market is likely to persist in the short term. **Titanium Dioxide Prices Rise Three Times in a Single Month** "Based on current market conditions, Lomon Billions Group has decided to adjust the prices of all its Xuelian® titanium dioxide products effective March 24, 2026. Prices for the domestic market will be raised by 1,000 RMB per ton above current levels, while prices for the international market will be raised by 150 USD per ton above current levels." In recent days, a price-hike notification issued by Lomon Billions Group—a leading player in the titanium dioxide sector—has been circulating within the industry. Following this move, a succession of other titanium dioxide companies have also announced plans to raise their prices. "The company has indeed raised its prices recently, primarily driven by rising costs for raw materials such as sulfuric acid and sulfur," a representative from Lomon Billions Group told a *Securities Times* reporter. The representative noted that the industry has recently exhibited a general upward trend in pricing, with current prices rising by approximately 2,000 RMB per ton compared to their previous lows. On the market front, data from SCI99 (Zhuochuang Information) indicates that on March 24, major domestic titanium dioxide manufacturers once again raised their quoted prices by 1,000 RMB per ton. This brought the cumulative price increase for the month of March alone to 2,000 RMB per ton—marking a rare instance of three consecutive price hikes within a single month. Data from Longzhong Information further reveals that as of March 30, the mainstream price for rutile-type titanium dioxide had risen by 1,125 RMB per ton compared to the beginning of the month, representing an increase of 8.38%. As a professional within the titanium dioxide supply chain, Yang Xun—a titanium industry analyst at Yantai—has also keenly felt the impact of recent price hikes. "It is rare to see titanium dioxide prices undergo three consecutive rounds of increases within such a short period—a phenomenon seldom witnessed over the past two decades. As of March 27, this third wave of price hikes has prompted more than twenty domestic manufacturers—including Annada, Haifengxin, and Tihai—to successively issue notices announcing price increases," Yang Xun noted. He acknowledged that recent price fluctuations in the titanium dioxide market have been relatively volatile, with both the frequency and magnitude of the increases exceeding market expectations. Amidst this overarching upward trend, several distinct characteristics have emerged within the trading market. On one hand, driven by bullish outlooks for the future, suppliers are currently in no rush to ship out inventory. Consequently, the supply of low-priced goods in the market has dwindled, and instances of premiums being applied to scarce spot inventory have become increasingly common. On the other hand, due to the excessive frequency of recent price hikes, the validity periods for price quotes have shortened significantly; market scenarios involving rapid price escalations, the suspension of new orders, and long queues for shipments have become increasingly prevalent. "Upstream suppliers have indeed raised their prices; however, for our company, the actual realized cost increase has not been quite as steep," an executive from a publicly listed paper manufacturing firm—who requested anonymity—told reporters. He explained that because his company consumes a substantial volume of titanium dioxide, it possesses a certain degree of bargaining power relative to upstream suppliers; as a result, the impact of rising costs on their operations has not yet become particularly pronounced. Nevertheless, he conceded that small-to-medium-sized paper manufacturers typically possess weaker bargaining power; for these firms, the recent wave of concentrated price hike announcements by titanium dioxide producers will undoubtedly exert significant pressure on their cost structures. Rising Raw Material Prices Trigger Surging Production Costs In interviews, industry insiders largely attributed the current round of consecutive price hikes for titanium dioxide to cost-push factors. "Typically, producing one ton of titanium dioxide requires 1.3 tons of sulfur or 4.2 tons of sulfuric acid. Since the fourth quarter of last year, the prices of sulfur and sulfuric acid have entered an upward trajectory, with a particularly sharp surge observed in March," stated Yang Xun. He noted that while the recent sustained rise in titanium dioxide prices has been bolstered by an increase in orders held by suppliers, the impact of the persistently firm prices for raw materials—sulfur and sulfuric acid—has been even more significant. Data from Zhuochuang Information indicates that as of March 30, the average domestic price for 98% concentrated sulfuric acid stood at 1,501.25 yuan per ton—an increase of 31.33% compared to early March and 41.92% compared to the end of the fourth quarter of 2025. Taking the average mainstream transaction price for domestically produced solid sulfur as another example, prices reached 5,417.50 yuan per ton as of March 27; this represents an increase of 1,771.25 yuan per ton since the beginning of the year, or a growth rate of 48.58%. Currently, domestic sulfur prices are hovering at a relatively high historical level; as early as January of this year, prices had already surpassed the peak reached during the previous price surge cycle observed in 2022. The impact of these price fluctuations in sulfur and sulfuric acid on companies within the industry has already become apparent. Hengbang Shares, a company primarily engaged in precious metal smelting, possesses the capacity to produce millions of tons of sulfuric acid as a byproduct. In its 2025 annual report, the company noted that its sulfuric acid output during the reporting period reached 1.7255 million tons—a 51.76% increase over the same period in the previous year. Furthermore, revenue generated from sulfuric acid sales surged by 375.52% year-on-year, a result attributed primarily to increased production volume, higher sales volume, and rising selling prices. An industry insider in the sulfuric acid production sector told reporters that, amidst disruptions caused by geopolitical factors, sulfuric acid prices are exhibiting a "geopolitical premium" and may well remain at relatively elevated levels in the short term. For downstream enterprises, the focus must therefore shift toward strategies aimed at "cost reduction and efficiency improvement" as well as "refined operational management." "The current round of price hikes is primarily driven by the fact that, in recent years, the growth rate of international demand has outpaced that of supply. Supply tightness began to manifest gradually in the second half of 2024, subsequently triggering a rapid surge in prices throughout 2025. Since the beginning of 2026, the geopolitical situation in the Middle East has further exacerbated this already strained supply predicament. Given that China relies on imports for approximately 50% of its sulfur requirements—with the Middle East serving as a key trading partner accounting for over 55% of total imports in 2025—domestic prices have inevitably been adjusted upward in response to high international market rates and tight supply conditions," stated Liu Zhenpeng, a sulfur analyst at Zhuochuang Information. As a direct downstream product, sulfuric acid is highly susceptible to the wide fluctuations in the price of its primary raw material—sulfur—resulting in mounting cost-side pressures. Fan Xiaoying, a sulfuric acid analyst at Zhuochuang Information, noted that the domestic market is currently in a phase where major smelting enterprises are undergoing concentrated maintenance shutdowns, leading to persistently tight spot market supplies across various regions. On the demand side, overall performance among downstream sectors remains robust; leading enterprises are maintaining stable operating rates, and procurement driven by essential, non-deferrable needs continues to provide strong market support. Although sulfuric acid export volumes witnessed a significant decline in the first quarter, this reduction has not been sufficient to alleviate the overall tightness of domestic sulfur resources. Profitability Remains Elusive for Enterprises, Yet Expectations for Price Hikes Persist In recent years, titanium dioxide production capacity has expanded significantly; however, sluggish operating rates at downstream facilities and lackluster demand—compounded by factors such as reduced exports resulting from anti-dumping policies—have kept the market in a state of persistent oversupply. Consequently, prices have entered a phase of low-level fluctuation and consolidation. In its analysis of a year-on-year decline in financial performance, Jinpu Titanium Industry noted that the selling prices for titanium dioxide products in 2025 remained at a low ebb, exerting a substantial negative impact on product gross margins. Lubei Chemical was even more candid in its corporate announcement, stating that—driven by a deep structural adjustment within the domestic real estate sector and a slowdown in infrastructure investment growth—demand in the downstream coatings and pigments market has remained persistently sluggish. This impact has rippled upstream, intensifying competition within the titanium dioxide market and resulting in a trend characterized by a simultaneous decline in both sales volume and price. Although the company successfully reduced unit costs through process optimization, these efforts proved insufficient to offset the adverse effects stemming from falling product prices. This situation led to a contraction in gross margins for this business segment and a decline in gross profit per ton, ultimately resulting in a downturn in the company's overall profitability. According to data from Zhuochuang Information, the profitability of titanium dioxide manufacturers has been on a steady decline between 2024 and 2026. Upon entering the third quarter of 2025, titanium dioxide enterprises began successively slipping into a loss-making state; losses intensified in the fourth quarter, with the loss per ton hovering around 1,800 yuan. In the first quarter of 2026 (as of March 25), industry-wide losses continued to widen, with the loss per ton rising to 2,300 yuan. "The reason for the current market's continuously expanding losses is that the rate of increase in raw material prices is outpacing that of titanium dioxide prices. As of March 25, data monitored by Zhuochuang Information indicates that the average production cost for titanium dioxide in March rose by 4% month-on-month compared to February; during the same period, however, market prices for the product rose by only 3%, resulting in a widening of losses in March—compared to February—by nearly one percentage point," stated Sun Shanshan, a titanium dioxide analyst at Zhuochuang Information. Following three consecutive price hikes, does the titanium dioxide market still have room for further upside? "Although the current firm pricing of titanium dioxide has left market participants struggling to keep up with the rising costs, the supply-demand dynamic governing trading activity still leans slightly in favor of the supply side. Current order volumes may have, to some extent, 'front-loaded' or 'overdrawn' future demand; nevertheless, judging by the titanium dioxide manufacturers' own backlogs and raw material cost structures, market prices are unlikely to soften between April and May. Prices for sulfate-process rutile titanium dioxide, in particular, may potentially reach 18,000 yuan per ton." Yang Xun believes that the tone for the titanium dioxide market in April has been essentially set for a price rally, with the supply side expected to remain in a state of continued tightness. Moving forward, key factors to watch include the costs of raw materials—specifically sulfur and sulfuric acid—as well as the status of export orders. Lu Jiaxin, a titanium dioxide analyst at Longzhong Information, also believes that the current wave of price hikes in the titanium dioxide industry may persist until late April, potentially driving the price of rutile-grade titanium dioxide to between 15,000 and 16,000 yuan per ton. "The current rise in titanium dioxide prices is driven solely by increased costs resulting from rising raw material prices. Given the pronounced imbalance of strong supply and weak demand within the sector, fundamental supply-and-demand dynamics are exerting only limited upward pressure on prices," Sun Shanshan noted during an interview. She further cautioned that while many titanium dioxide manufacturers currently appear to be holding low inventory levels, substantial stockpiles have, in reality, merely shifted downstream to processing plants and traders, rather than being genuinely absorbed by the end market. As inventory continues to accumulate across various stages of the industrial chain, the risk of a sharp market price correction is steadily intensifying. Should raw material prices enter a downward trajectory, market prices for titanium dioxide are expected to follow suit with accelerated declines.

Chinese Titanium Dioxide Price Getting Wild Increase After Chinese New Year!
On March 16, Longbai Group (002601) announced a price increase for its snow lotus titanium dioxide products, with a domestic market adjustment of 500 yuan per ton and an international market adjustment of 100 US dollars per ton. Subsequently, multiple enterprises such as Huiyun Titanium (300891), Kunming Donghao, and Shandong Xianghai quickly followed suit with identical price hikes. This marks the second round of collective price adjustments within the industry this month, following the joint price increase by over 20 titanium dioxide manufacturers at the end of February and the beginning of March. The root cause of this round of intensive price hikes stems from the sharp surge in upstream raw material costs. According to data from the commodity quotation platform Business Society, as of March 17, the benchmark price of sulfur was reported at 4,616.67 yuan per ton, up 18% from the beginning of the month and 77% year-on-year; while the benchmark price of sulfuric acid had soared to 1,185 yuan per ton, rising 12.06% from the beginning of the month and 83% year-on-year. Sulfur is a byproduct of the refining process of traditional energy sources such as petroleum and natural gas, primarily used in the production of sulfuric acid. China's sulfur imports heavily rely on the Middle East, with imports from the region accounting for 56.2% of total imports in 2025. The recent escalation of conflicts in the Middle East and the tense situation in the Strait of Hormuz have directly impacted the global sulfur supply chain, further driving up sulfur prices. According to a research report by Huachuang Securities, raw material costs account for over 60% of the total production cost of titanium dioxide. Driven by strong cost pressures, the industry faces widespread cost inversion challenges. It is worth noting that despite two rounds of price hikes within the month, the current titanium dioxide price has yet to recover to the level of the same period last year. According to data from Business Society, as of March 17, the benchmark price of titanium dioxide was 14,340 yuan per ton, up 3.17% compared to the beginning of the month but still approximately 9% lower than the same period last year. According to the disclosed 2025 performance forecasts, performance pressure has become a widespread industry trend. Analysis of the announcements reveals that Anada (002136) expects a net loss of 65 million to 103 million yuan in 2025, representing a year-on-year decrease of 677.46% to 1015.05%. The company stated that during the reporting period, declining downstream demand led to a significant year-on-year drop in titanium dioxide product prices, coupled with a year-on-year increase in sulfuric acid prices, resulting in a notable decline in the gross margin of the titanium dioxide business. During the same period, Jinpu Titanium Industry (000545) is expected to report a net loss of 428 million to 489 million yuan, with the loss amount widening year-on-year. Although Huayun Titanium Industry saw an increase in titanium dioxide sales last year, its net profit is also expected to fall into a deficit. Persistent operating losses are forcing the supply side to accelerate asset liquidation. On January 16, American company Tenova Group announced the permanent closure of its titanium dioxide production facility in Fuzhou, China. On the same day, Jinpu Titanium Industry announced the shutdown of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Xuzhou Titanium, which accounts for half of the company's total production capacity. While domestic enterprises are grappling with cost pressures, they also face the "encirclement" of overseas trade barriers. On March 3, the UK Trade Remedies Authority initiated an anti-dumping investigation on rutilic titanium dioxide originating from China at the request of Tenova. This marks another major market for Chinese titanium dioxide—following the EU, India, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia—that has raised the anti-dumping hammer. In 2025, China's titanium dioxide exports totaled approximately 1.8169 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 4.46%, marking the first annual decline since 2016. Industry analysis suggests that the cost shock triggered by geopolitical factors is compounding the impact of overseas trade barriers, accelerating sector divergence. Guoshen Securities noted that against the backdrop of persistent losses, the survival space for small and medium-sized enterprises has been severely squeezed, with supply-side clearance emerging as a critical variable in price recovery. China Securities Co., Ltd. believes that overseas anti-dumping measures will compel domestic enterprises to accelerate their global expansion. The case of Longba Group's acquisition of Panenergy's UK factory provides an industry benchmark for breaking through through "market exchange via mergers and acquisitions." Tianfeng Securities emphasizes that the current industry adjustment represents a profound structural reshaping, with cost control capabilities, technological craftsmanship, and global layout capabilities emerging as the core determinants of future competitiveness.

Titanium Dioxide Rutile: Improving Color Consistency in Ceramics
Ceramics have long been valued for their aesthetic appeal and functional properties, making them a staple in architecture, household items, and art. One of the most critical aspects of ceramic production is achieving consistent color, which enhances the visual quality and market value of the final product. Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) plays a pivotal role in ensuring this color consistency, offering unique properties that make it indispensable in the ceramics industry. This article explores how Titanium Dioxide Rutile improves color consistency in ceramics, the benefits it brings, and the economic considerations surrounding its use. Understanding Titanium Dioxide Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is a white, opaque compound known for its exceptional ability to scatter light, which gives materials their bright white appearance. It exists in several crystalline forms, with Rutile being the most stable and widely used in industrial applications. Rutile Titanium Dioxide is particularly valued for its high refractive index, excellent UV resistance, and superior durability, making it ideal for applications that require consistent and vibrant coloration. In the ceramics industry, White TiO2 Rutile is commonly used as a pigment to achieve uniform color in ceramic glazes, tiles, and other products. Its ability to reflect light evenly ensures that the color remains consistent across large surfaces, regardless of variations in firing temperatures or other production conditions. The Role of Rutile Titanium Dioxide in Color Consistency High Refractive Index: One of the key properties of Rutile Titanium Dioxide is its high refractive index, which is higher than that of most other materials used in ceramics. This means that Rutile TiO2 can bend and reflect light more effectively, contributing to a brighter and more uniform color. When used in ceramic glazes, White TiO2 Rutile ensures that light is scattered evenly across the surface, preventing color variations that can occur due to uneven application or firing. Stability at High Temperatures: Ceramic production involves high-temperature firing processes that can cause colorants to behave unpredictably. Rutile Titanium Dioxide is highly stable at these temperatures, maintaining its color and opacity even under extreme conditions. This stability is crucial for achieving consistent coloration in ceramics, as it reduces the risk of color shifts or fading during the firing process. UV Resistance: TiO2 Rutile offers superior resistance to ultraviolet (UV) light, which helps protect ceramics from discoloration and degradation over time. This is particularly important for outdoor ceramics, such as tiles and architectural elements, that are exposed to sunlight.
