What is Titanium?

What is titanium dioxide?

Titanium dioxide has chemical formula TiO2 and it
is white pigment that has very high coverage.
This means that it takes a very small amount of
titanium dioxide to increase coverage of coating,
which makes a real difference when it comes to
titanium dioxide uses in bleaching and wall
painting of metal interiors. Titanium dioxide
manufacturers also point out to significant
quality of titanium dioxide for lighting, what
can be observed in significant lighting of white
or black color on materials, with very small
amount of titanium dioxide pigment. Additionally,
titanium dioxide pigment protects material, so it
is added to prevent weather damage or light
damage.

When did titanium dioxide manuacfturing
begin? First commercial production of titanium
dioxide begun in 1918 in Norway, in the company
called Titan Co. USA manufacturers are focusing
their titanium dioxide production in two
commercially most interesting forms anatase and
rutile titanium dioxide. In the beginning,
manufacturers could produce only anatase titanium
dioxide pigment . This pigment was very
photo-sensitve and quickly changed color under
influence of sun and started to become chalky.
Rutile pigment was first manufactured in
Titangeselschaft in Leverkusen, Germany, in 1939.
This pigment had much better covering power and
better resistance to light and weather conditions.

What are titanium dioxide uses? Titanium dioxide
has numerous uses. It is used for pigmentation of
paints and varnish. These products have much
better coverage quality with titanium dioxide.
Simply put, paint or varnish with titanium
dioxide requires less coats. This paint is more
resistant to weather influence.

Titanium dioxide pigment in ink assures high
coverage and ability to lighten, but also has the
necessary size of particles that is less than
printed layer. This is important both for
printing on paper and on fabric. Titanium
dioxide is added to plastics to increase
resistance to outer influence, but it also has
decorative role. In some cases, titanium dioxide
is added to assure mechanical or electric
features.

Titanium dioxide is additive in rubber
manufacture. Senior citizens surely remember that
in the past wheel rubber would be spent after
just a year or two. These days, titanium dioxide
significantly adds to prolonged life and
resistance of all rubber wheels.

Materials used to manufacture artificial fibers
are colorless and transparent. Considering that
this is not acceptable for clothing fabric, these
fibers have to be darkened. Besides, artificial
fibers generally have unpleasantly sparkly
surface. Titanium dioxide significantly decreases
this unpleasant quality.

Titanium dioxide in glass increases permeability
of infrared and decreases permeability of UV
rays, and it also decreases loss of paint due to
influence of sunlight on stained glass. This
improves chemical stability and also gives
special color to glass.

Titanium dioxide is being added to covering layer
of enamel to increase resistance to abrasion and
heat shock, and to decrease influence of liquid
fermentation in the tank.
