Titanium (IV) Oxide 98.5% Rutile

What is Titanium (IV) Oxide? Titanium (IV) Oxide (chemical formula TiO₂), also known as Titanium Dioxide, is a naturally occurring oxide of titanium. The Rutile form is the most stable and commonly used polymorph of titanium dioxide, with a characteristic high refractive index and excellent durability. 
Widely known for its use as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and plastics, where it provides excellent coverage and whiteness. It is also utilised in a range of other industries, including cosmetics, food products, pharmaceuticals, and sunscreen formulations due to its non-toxic, UV-blocking properties.

Consistent Quality: We use only carefully sourced Titanium (IV) Oxide 98.5% Rutile, ensuring consistent performance across various applications.

Shipped from Manchester, UK Facility: Sourced and packaged using non-toxic, chemical-resistant containers to ensure its stability and maintain the highest quality for our customers.

Frequent Uses

Pigment in Paints and Coatings

Widely used as a white pigment in paints, coatings, and varnishes due to its excellent coverage and bright white colour. It is particularly valued for its durability and resistance to fading, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

Plastics and Rubber

Added to plastics and rubber to enhance their whiteness and opacity. It is also used in some specialty polymers to improve UV resistance and protect the material from degradation caused by sunlight.
