The Invisible Shield: Why TiO2 Surface Treatment Determines Everything

December 26, 2025 •

Without surface treatment, Titanium Dioxide is essentially unusable in industrial applications. Think of raw TiO2 as a “hyperactive troublemaker”—highly reactive to UV light and difficult to mix. The difference between a generic commodity grade and a high-performance pigment from top-tier manufacturers lies entirely in the “Coating”—the microscopic armor that dictates weatherability, dispersion, and oil absorption. This guide breaks down the difference between Inorganic and Organic treatments and how to read a chemical datasheet to find the perfect grade for your specific application.

Sulphate vs. Chloride Process Titanium Dioxide: Which Is Better for Coatings?

April 27, 2025 •

The coatings industry is the largest consumer of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), especially rutile-type titanium dioxide, with most of it being consumed by the paint and coatings sector. Globally, TiO₂ consumption by the coatings industry accounts for about 58%–60% of the total titanium dioxide pigment usage. In China, this proportion is even higher, around 60%–65%. Titanium dioxide is the most widely used pigment in the coatings industry, accounting for half of the pigment costs and approximately 90% of the total pigment consumption in the industry. It also represents about 10%–25% of the raw material costs in coatings.
