Titanium Dioxide - An important white pigment for many products

Titanium Dioxide - White Pigments

Titanium Dioxide TiO2 is an exceptional chemical compound due to its ultra-white color. In addition to its ability to scatter and reflect light, TiO2 is resistant to UV radiation and can absorb it as well.

Titanium Dioxide is therefore found in many essential everyday products (e.g. sunscreens) and makes a significant contribution to improving the quality of life and facilitating economic growth.

TER Chemicals offers a vast application experience in specialty chemicals and has a long history as a titanium dioxide supplier. 

Industries

As a relevant white pigment, TiO2 is an important component of paints, varnishes. Of course, the substance is known here as the "perfect white", but also forms the basis for many other colors. It can be recognized under the color index C.I. Pigment White 6 or C.I. 77891. The high refractive index makes it possible for the color pigment to scatter light, thus ensuring a luminous, opaque and reflective quality in paints and coatings.

Titanium dioxide is also used in plastics and coatings. For example, it acts as an ideal UV filter in plastic window frames. Furthermore, TiO2 acts as a photocatalyst that renders pollutants from the air ineffective and is therefore used as a coating in solar panels or wind turbines.
