Description
Product details
Ilmenite, a naturally occurring mineral primarily composed of iron titanium oxide (FeTiO3), is a crucial source of titanium dioxide (TiO2). The 45% grade ilmenite contains approximately 45% titanium dioxide, making it a valuable raw material for various industrial applications. This grade of ilmenite is commonly used in: Pigment production: Ilmenite is a key feedstock in the production of titanium dioxide pigments, widely used in paints, plastics, paper, and coatings due to their brilliant whiteness, UV resistance, and opacity. Titanium metal production: It serves as a raw material for producing titanium metal, which is valued for its strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction. Welding rods: Ilmenite is used in the coating of welding rods (electrodes), contributing to the production of high-quality welds by stabilizing the arc and improving slag properties. Foundry applications: Due to its high density and heat-resistant properties, ilmenite 45% is used in foundry work for making castings that withstand extreme temperatures. Ilmenite with 45% titanium dioxide offers a cost-effective solution for industries requiring a balance of performance and affordability, ensuring its versatility across a wide range of applications. Its widespread availability and industrial relevance make it a significant component in the global supply chain for titanium-based products.
