Description
Product details
Leucoxene is an alteration product of ilmenite, composed primarily of titanium dioxide (TiO₂). With a high TiO₂ content of 89%, Australian-sourced leucoxene is a premium-grade mineral that serves as a valuable raw material for industries requiring high-purity titanium. Leucoxene is often prized for its higher titanium content compared to standard ilmenite, offering improved performance in various applications. Key applications of Leucoxene 89% include: Titanium Dioxide Production: Leucoxene with 89% TiO₂ content is a superior feedstock for producing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigments. These pigments are used extensively in paints, coatings, plastics, and paper, where they offer exceptional whiteness, opacity, and UV resistance. Titanium Metal Production: This high-grade leucoxene is also used in the manufacturing of titanium metal, which is widely applied in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and chemical processing due to its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and strength. Welding Rods: Leucoxene 89% is employed in welding electrode coatings, where it improves arc stability and weld quality by contributing to better slag formation. Refractory and Foundry Applications: The high TiO₂ content of leucoxene makes it suitable for use in refractory materials and foundry sands, where it provides resistance to extreme temperatures, making it ideal for molds and cores in metal casting processes. Leucoxene 89% is a highly sought-after material due to its superior titanium content and consistent quality. It provides a reliable and high-performance raw material for industries that demand advanced, titanium-rich solutions.
