Titanium Dioxide is the whitest of white pigments and has replaced other less effective pigments such as Zinc Oxide, Lithopone etc.

This is because of the unique combination of its superior properties of a high refractive index, low specific gravity, high hiding power and opacity,and non-toxicity. It also has high tinting strength and dispersion properties as well as chemical stability. Titanium Dioxide is produced in TTP in the ANATASE form and marketed as AJANTOX Anatase grade possesses excellent water dispersion properties and gives a clear tone in all ranges of application.

Travancore Titanium Products Limited has recently launched a Rutile Grade Titanium dioxide pigment viz., TTP RD-01. This product was developed in the year 2002 indigenously through the Sulphate route. TTP markets this product without surface treatment at a very competitive price.

About Titanium Dioxide (ANATASE) : Titanium Dioxide is a brilliantly white, non-toxic pigment. The unique properties of Titanium Dioxide which make it supreme among the white pigments are its excellent opacity, extreme whiteness and chemical stability, which lead to considerable economy in usage, when compared to other white pigments. The titanium dioxide of our manufacture is marketed under the trade name of 'ANJATOX' and is available in four grades- ISI, RG, GP and GR.
