Titanium dioxide holds exceptional significance as a white pigment due to its superior scattering capabilities, remarkable chemical stability, and non-toxic nature. Among all white pigments, it surpasses others in terms of its ability to scatter light effectively. Consequently, titanium dioxide stands as the most significant inorganic pigment, accounting for the highest quantity in usage. The majority part of the global production of ilmenite and rutile is dedicated to the production of TiO2 pigments. The remaining portion is utilized for the manufacturing of titanium metal and in the production of welding electrodes.
There are numerous manufacturers of titanium dioxide; the largest include Delaware-based Chemours (a spin-off of DuPont Chemical), Texas-based Kronos, and China-based Lomon Billions Group, all of which manufacture pigments for use in products like paints, coatings, and plastics. UK-based Venator is a major supplier of titanium dioxide used in food and cosmetics, along with paints, paper, plastic, and more. As a pigment, it is called Pigment White 6 (PW6), titanium white, or CI 77891. As a food additive, it is known as E171.
