What are the applications of TiO2?
Titanium dioxide TiO2 exists mainly in rutile and anatase crystallographic forms. Both of them have to be differentiated by their applications. Rutile is widely used for pigmentary applications (e.g. paintings) because of its high refractive index giving whiteness, while anatase (Photo above) is a useful material for photocatalytic applications. Photocatalysis is the phenomenon by which a compound under illumination accelerates the speed of a chemical reaction, without being consumed. Titanium Dioxide is not a new product – its been around for decades. It is completely “green” and has infinite application uses. It can be used on both interior and on the exterior of most homes, buildings, institutions, governmental agencies etc. This application, when used on the exterior of substrates will allow the substrate to maintain its appearance and integrity for years. When used on your interior spaces it becomes a “Green” Indoor air quality solution. With the proper amount of light reacting to
