Titanium Dioxide-Anatase

8 Uses of Anatase Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles

Anatase Titanium dioxide is extensively used in plastics, ink, coatings, paper, rubber, chemical fiber, chemical, ceramics, pharmaceutical, food, and some further industries. The main uses of Anatase titanium dioxide are stated below:

1. Anatase titanium dioxide has a good photocatalytic effect and is widely used in photocatalysts and air purifiers.

2. Anatase titanium dioxide due to the huge specific surface has been broadly used in solar cells, environmental purification, photocatalysis, catalyst media, gas sensors, and lithium batteries.

3. Anatase titanium dioxide is used in papermaking, it can play the role of fluorescence and brightening and increase the whiteness of the paper. In the field of printing, the thicknesses of coatings of less than 100 millimeters are required, which is why very fine titanium dioxide pigments are used. Fillers such as chalk, talc or kaolin are used for the paper industry. Titanium dioxide pigments are used for making a very white paper and should be opaque and very thin. It is also applied as a coating to make “artistic” paper.

4. It is also used in the manufacturing of ink. It is an indispensable white pigment in advanced inks.

5. Anatase Titanium dioxide has also applications in the textile and chemical fiber industry. They remove the greasy appearance on fibers caused by the translucent properties of the resin.

6. Anatase Titanium dioxide is used as a dye in the rubber industry and it also has reinforcing, anti-aging and filling effects.

7. Other areas of application of Anatase titanium dioxide include the ceramic industry, the manufacturing of white cement and the coloring of rubber or linoleum.

8. In addition to being a pigment, titanium dioxide is used as a catalyst, as a protector of the skin against UV rays in some cosmetic creams. In nanoparticle form, it is used in sunscreens, food dyes, self-cleaning surfaces, and dyes.
