Ultrafine titanium dioxide
Titanium dioxide is one of the most widely used inorganic material in the world. The most common form is pigmentary titanium dioxide but in recent years there has been a growing demand for ultrafine titanium dioxide. Turning to smaller particles i.e. becoming nano size particles titanium dioxide is offering new properties and advantages to final materials which are incorporated in, for example such as reducing pollution of the air by photocatalytic process, providing self-cleaning effect at the same time, protecting wood from UV radiation,... Ultrafine titanium dioxide is known for its many and versatile applications emanating from its very small particle size and semiconductor nature. The range of use of ultrafine titanium dioxide is extremely wide and growing annually.
We are producing following types of ultrafine titanium dioxide:
