Titanium Dioxide – Chloride

Chemical Formula According to technical data sheet

Abstract

Titanium dioxide produced by the chloride process is a high-purity, white, inorganic pigment based exclusively on the rutile phase. It is obtained from TiO₂-rich raw materials through high-temperature chlorination to form titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄), followed by controlled oxidation and heat treatment. It is characterized by a high refractive index (~2.7), maximum opacity, high hiding power, excellent whiteness, and superior photographic stability. It exhibits low metallic impurities and a highly controlled particle size distribution, resulting in improved gloss, greater durability, and reduced chalking in exterior applications. Advanced surface treatments (silica, alumina, zirconia, or others) optimize its dispersibility, weather resistance, chemical stability, and compatibility with water-based and solvent-based systems. From a formulation point of view, it allows maximizing optical performance, improving resistance to aging and reducing pigment consumption per square meter, positioning itself as the highest performing option for premium paints and high durability coatings.
