Titanium (IV) Oxide 98.5% Rutile

What is Titanium (IV) Oxide 98.5% Rutile?

Titanium (IV) Oxide (TiO₂), also known as Titanium Dioxide, is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium. The Rutile form is the most stable and commonly used polymorph of titanium dioxide, with a characteristic high refractive index and excellent durability. Titanium Dioxide 98.5% Rutile refers to a high-purity form of TiO₂, typically used in applications where high opacity, excellent pigmenting power, and superior stability are required.

Titanium Dioxide is widely known for its use as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics, where it provides excellent coverage and whiteness. It is also utilized in a range of other industries, including cosmetics, food products, pharmaceuticals, and sunscreen formulations due to its non-toxic, UV-blocking properties.

Frequent Uses

1. Pigment in Paints and Coatings:
   Titanium Dioxide is widely used as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and varnishes due to its excellent coverage and bright white color. It is particularly valued for its durability and resistance to fading, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

2. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products:
   TiO₂ is a common ingredient in cosmetics such as foundations, sunscreens, and powders. Its ability to block UV light makes it a key component in sun protection formulations. It is also used for its opacity and smooth texture in various cosmetic products.

3. Plastics and Rubber:
   Titanium Dioxide is added to plastics and rubber to enhance their whiteness and opacity. It is also used in some specialty polymers to improve UV resistance and protect the material from degradation caused by sunlight.

4. Food Products (As a Food Additive):
   Titanium Dioxide is used as a food additive (E171) in some processed foods, primarily to improve the appearance of the product by providing a bright white color. It is commonly found in confectionery, dairy products, and sauces.

5. Pharmaceuticals:
   In the pharmaceutical industry, Titanium Dioxide is used as a coloring agent in tablet formulations and as an excipient to help with the smooth production of pills. Its non-toxic nature makes it safe for use in many consumer health products.

6. Sunscreen Formulations:
   Titanium Dioxide is a key ingredient in many sunscreen products due to its natural ability to block both UVA and UVB radiation. It acts as a physical sunscreen, reflecting UV rays and providing broad-spectrum protection against sun damage.
