Titanium Dioxide — Industrial Uses, Applications and Buying Guide

1. What Is This Material?

Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂ (rutile / anatase)) is a bulk industrial raw material used across multiple manufacturing sectors.

2. What Problem Does It Solve?

Industrial buyers reach for Titanium Dioxide to solve one of a small set of recurring manufacturing problems (opacity, lubrication, filler cost, pH adjustment, flame retardancy, cleaning, viscosity, or line changeover, depending on the material).

3. Which Industries Use It?

• Plastics
• Coatings
• Paints
• Paper
• Inks
• Cosmetics (overview only)

4. Which Manufacturing Processes Use It?

• Masterbatch compounding
• Extrusion
• Injection molding
• Coating manufacture
• Paint dispersion

5. Which Products Commonly Contain It?

• White Masterbatch
• Paints and architectural coatings
• Packaging film
• PVC profiles
• Paper coatings

6. Which Allzone Products Are Related?

• [W8-L1-PP]
• [W8-L1-PE]
• [W10-L2-FILM]

7. When Is This NOT the Correct Material to Investigate?

the target is transparency, translucency, or a non-white color where opacity is not required, or when the required whiteness/opacity can be reached with a cheaper filler system such as calcium carbonate blended with a small TiO₂ share.
