Development Trend of Titanium Dioxide in Latex Paint

Titanium dioxide is a member of pigments and is of great interest because of its importance in latex paints. Latex paint manufacturers are more concerned about titanium dioxide production methods, brand name, use and price.

In the two industrial production methods of titanium dioxide, the chlorination process is short, the production efficiency is high, the energy consumption and the cost are low, and especially the waste and auxiliary materials are discharged lowly, and the treatment is relatively easy, which is favorable to environmental protection. By the chlorination method, an intermediate product with a high purity and a narrow particle size distribution can be produced.

The ** method has a long history, mature technology, strong adaptability to titanium raw materials, and can produce both anatase and gold red type products, but the ** process is long, energy consumption is high, especially the three wastes are discharged in large quantities, difficult to handle Product purity is not chlorinated.

In the production of latex paints, foreign developed countries all use rutile titanium dioxide, either externally or internally.

At present, the price of titanium dioxide is uneven across the world. For example, the Asia-Pacific region is relatively low, which is due to differences in economic development and demand. However, this imbalance is gradually approaching equilibrium.
