Titanium Oxide
Titanium Oxide (Anatase) is a naturally occurred oxide source from rutile, anatase and ilmenite. It is an odourless, white crystalline powder which is insoluble in water and organic solvents. It dissolves slowly in hydrochloric acid and in hot concentrated sulphuric acid.

Applications:
Titanium Dioxide (Anatase Grade) is used in industries like paints, plastics, textiles, paper, detergents, printing inks, etc.
In paints and coatings, it provides opacity and durability, while helping to ensure the longevity of the paint and protection of the painted surface.
In plastic and adhesives, it can help to minimize brittleness, fading and cracking that can occur in plastics and other materials as a result of light exposure.
In paper, it is used to coat paper, making it white, brighter and more opaque.
