APPLICATIONS OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE IN INDUSTRY(2)
Application in rubber industry
In the rubber industry, in order to improve the process performance of raw rubber during processing and the performance of vulcanized rubber, several or more than a dozen types of vulcanizing agents, accelerators, active agents, antioxidants, reinforcing agents and colorants must be added. Additives that cause physical and chemical changes in rubber.
Titanium dioxide is a good colorant because of its stable physical and chemical properties, small particles, and does not contain impurities that will damage the vulcanization process. It will not damage the vulcanization process. Due to its strong achromatic power and hiding power, a small amount of titanium is used. White powder can achieve the best coloring effect without affecting the tensile strength, elongation and bending properties of the product.
At the same time, it has strong sun resistance and does not crack or discolor under sunlight. Therefore, titanium dioxide is indispensable in general white and light-colored rubber products.
Application in enamel industry
Enamel is a product obtained by coating a metal body with a layer of enamel and then melting it.
Enamel has excellent opacity and certain acid resistance, alkali resistance, heat resistance and wear resistance, so as to protect and beautify the metal. The enamel must have emulsifying properties to make the enamel opaque.
White enamels in particular must have stronger emulsion properties. For this reason, an emulsifier must be added to the enamel. Titanium dioxide is the strongest emulsion in enamel. Products enameled with titanium white enamel have smooth surfaces, enhanced acid resistance, and good hue and gloss. Therefore, a large amount of titanium dioxide is used in the enamel industry.
Applications in the electronics industry
Because capacitor titanium dioxide has fine particles, large specific surface area, high resistance to reduction, high dielectric constant and resistance, high purity and few impurities, it is one of the important raw materials for electronic ceramic materials.
