What Is Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)

Titanium dioxide is the most important white pigment used in the polymer industry. Its main component is titanium dioxide. Because of its stable chemical properties and generally no reaction with other substances, it is widely used in industrial production. It has the reputation of "King of White Paint".

Dawn specializes in producing high-quality titanium dioxide that meets stringent industry standards, with the following outstanding features:

• High whiteness, hiding power, and dispersion
• Excellent light scattering ability
• Excellent weather resistance
• Stable performance in various applications

Key Properties of Titanium Dioxide

High hiding power and whiteness

Titanium dioxide is the whitest and most reflective material, suitable for products that require high whiteness and hiding power.

UV resistance

Titanium dioxide can protect materials such as plastics and coatings from sunlight aging, extending their service life.

Chemical stability

Titanium dioxide is non-toxic and chemically inert, and does not easily react with other substances, ensuring safe use.

Particle size and purity

Dawn titanium dioxide is finely processed to ensure the optimal particle size and high purity, suitable for different industry needs.

Applications of Titanium Dioxide
