Ilmenite uses
Ilmenite is the primary feed stock of
Titanium Dioxide. Ilmenite is the main source of titanium dioxide which is used
in paints, fabrics, plastics, paper, sunscreen, food and cosmetics.
More than half of all titanium dioxide
pigment is used in the production of paints (household, industrial and
automotive etc.) as it reflects the sun’s harmful UV rays and protects paint
from peeling. Titanium dioxide is also an important ingredient in the
manufacturing of sunscreen, cosmetics, plastics, ink, paper, toothpaste and
some foods such as flour and icing sugar to improve their brightness.
