The paper industry is the third largest user of titanium dioxide, primarily used as a filler in high-quality paper and thin paper, added to the paper.Rutile titanium dioxideIt can enhance the whiteness, gloss, strength, thinness, and smoothness of the paper, preventing penetration during printing and reducing weight. Titanium dioxide used in papermaking is generally rutile titanium dioxide, which does not require surface treatment and can act as a fluorescent whitening agent to increase the whiteness of the paper. However, laminated paper requires surface-treated rutile titanium dioxide to meet light and heat resistance requirements.
In the paper industry, low-grade paper generally does not use rutile titanium dioxide due to production cost considerations, mainly using kaolin, talc, calcium carbonate, etc., but these will reduce the strength of the paper and increase its weight. Decorative paper, Bible paper, and banknotes (such as dictionaries, magazines, and covers) must use rutile titanium dioxide, resulting in good whiteness, high strength, gloss, thinness, and smoothness, with no penetration during printing. Under the same conditions, the opacity is 10 times higher than that of calcium carbonate and talc, and the weight can be reduced by 15%.
Another important application area of rutile titanium dioxide in papermaking is decorative paper, also known as titanium white paper, mainly used as a raw material for making furniture, flooring, wallpaper, etc. In our country, the usage of titanium dioxide in decorative paper is much higher than in other varieties. According to incomplete estimates, the decorative paper using titanium dioxide in our country exceeds 30,000 tons annually. The usage of titanium dioxide in decorative paper is 20% ~ 40%, while in other papers it is 1% ~ 5%. This situation is determined by the consumption level in our country. Due to the high demand for home decoration and high-quality furniture, the usage of decorative paper is gradually increasing; Bible paper, due to the use of titanium dioxide as a raw material, has a much higher cost than ordinary paper. Given the domestic consumption level, the market for Bible paper is very limited; however, the manufacturing and use of banknote paper is controlled by the state, and the usage is relatively stable, which will not affect the titanium dioxide market.

How to choose genuine rutile titanium dioxide
Rutile titanium dioxide is widely used in industries such as coatings, plastics, rubber, and inks. Rutile titanium can achieve the same technical performance as titanium dioxide, significantly reducing raw material costs. There are many fake rutile titanium dioxide products on the market, which can lead to the precipitation of white substances during plastic processing, mixed with a lot of calcium powder. To adjust the oil absorption changes caused by the addition of calcium powder, wax powder is added, deceiving many consumers. So how can we identify the authenticity of rutile titanium dioxide? 1. Chemical methods: 1. Add light calcium or heavy calcium to dilute sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid: bubbles will make the solution turbid because calcium carbonate reacts with acid to produce carbon dioxide; 2. Add titanium white powder, dilute sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, which will have a rotten egg smell; 3. Make latex paint, add iron red, if the color is dark, it indicates poor hiding power, which is either fake or of poor quality titanium dioxide. 2. Physical methods: 1. A simple method is to compare the feel; fake titanium dioxide is smooth, while real titanium dioxide feels awkward; 2. Wash with water; fake titanium dioxide easily washes off hands, while real titanium dioxide does not; 3. Take a cup of clean water and add titanium dioxide. The one that floats is real, and the one that settles is fake. After understanding the methods to distinguish the authenticity of rutile titanium dioxide, let's look at...

Differences in performance between rutile titanium dioxide and anatase titanium dioxide
The performance differences between rutile titanium dioxide and anatase titanium dioxide powder 1. Crystals with internal structure Titanium dioxide has three different crystal structures: rutile titanium dioxide, anatase titanium dioxide, and flaky titanium dioxide, which are all different. Among them, the crystal structure of rutile titanium dioxide is the most stable, while the crystal structure of flaky titanium dioxide is rarely used. This is mainly because its internal crystal structure is unstable, making it unable to be preserved stably in nature for a long time. 2) Melting point and boiling point The melting point and boiling point of anatase titanium dioxide do not actually exist, because anatase titanium dioxide will convert to rutile at high temperatures. Only rutile titanium dioxide has a melting point and boiling point. The melting point of rutile titanium dioxide is 1850°C, the melting point of air is (1830±15)°C, and the melting point of oxygen-rich titanium dioxide is 1879°C. The melting point is related to the purity of titanium dioxide. The boiling point of rutile titanium dioxide is (320 anatase titanium dioxide 300)°C, and there is slight volatility at this high temperature. 3) Dielectric constant Titanium dioxide has excellent electrical properties due to its high dielectric constant. When measuring certain physical properties of titanium dioxide, the crystallographic direction of the titanium dioxide crystal must be considered. Anatase titanium dioxide.
