Our material

TiO₂ is where we begin

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is a white powder with the greatest hiding power of all white pigments. Non-toxic, chemically inert and extraordinarily stable, it is the backbone of white colour in modern manufacturing — found in everything from architectural paint to food coatings.

TiO₂ occurs naturally in three crystal forms: rutile, anatase and brookite. Rutile — the most common and commercially important form — delivers the highest refractive index, making it the gold standard for opacity and brightness in industrial applications.

Now, with years of operation in both Europe and China, we have built a large professional network across the global pigment industry — and we are heading into a bigger world.
