Product details
Ilmenite with a minimum titanium dioxide (TiO₂) content of 52% is a higher-grade form of ilmenite, highly sought after in industries requiring purer titanium feedstock. This quality of ilmenite is crucial for processes that demand higher TiO₂ levels to ensure better efficiency and performance. Industries and applications that utilize 52% minimum ilmenite include: Titanium Dioxide Pigment Production: Ilmenite 52% is a key raw material for producing high-quality titanium dioxide pigments, which are essential for the paint, coatings, plastic, and paper industries. Titanium dioxide enhances brightness, opacity, and UV resistance in these products. Titanium Metal Production: This grade is used in the production of titanium metal, which is known for its exceptional strength, lightweight properties, and resistance to corrosion. Titanium metal is widely used in aerospace, automotive, and medical industries. Welding Rods: Ilmenite with a higher TiO₂ content is often used in welding rod coatings, improving arc stability and creating a better slag flow during welding processes. Foundry and Refractory Applications: Due to its high melting point and heat resistance, ilmenite 52% is also used in foundry sands and refractory materials, providing durability under extreme temperatures. This grade of ilmenite offers an excellent balance of purity and cost-effectiveness, ensuring optimal performance for industries where high TiO₂ content is crucial. Its versatility and high titanium yield make it a valuable raw material for various advanced applications.
