PROPERTIES
High Opacity:
Its ability to scatter light efficiently gives it excellent opacity, making it an ideal white pigment in paints and coatings.
UV Absorption:
It has excellent ultraviolet (UV) light absorption capabilities, providing protection against UV radiation. This makes it a key ingredient in sunscreens and protective coatings.
Chemical Stability:
Its highly resistant to chemical reactions, ensuring durability and longevity in products exposed to harsh environments.
Better Dispersion:
Its inorganic surface coating helps in better dispersion of the pigment in various media, reducing agglomeration and ensuring a uniform distribution.
Increased Durability:
The surface treatment enhances the mechanical strength and durability of the pigment, making it suitable for high-performance applications..
Better Gloss & Hiding Power:
The coating can improve the optical properties of the pigment, providing better gloss and hiding power, which are crucial for coatings and paints.
Enhanced Compatibility:
The pigment has better compatibility with different resins and binders, making it versatile for use in various formulations.
Enhanced Anti-Yellowing Properties:
The inorganic coating helps in reducing yellowing over time, maintaining the aesthetic qualities of the end product.
APPLICATIONS
Titanium Dioxide is present in almost everything and everywhere around us. Its versatility and effectiveness as a pigment make it a critical component in a variety of industries and products:
| Sr. No. | Applications | Uses |

Sodium Hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan known for its exceptional ability to retain moisture, along with its viscoelastic and biocompatible properties, making it highly valuable across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and biomedical applications.
Pyrazinamide is a first-line antitubercular drug used in combination therapy for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). It is a synthetic pyrazine derivative and acts as a prodrug, which is converted into its active form (pyrazinoic acid) inside Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
6-Bromopyridine-2,3-diamine is a heterocyclic organic compound belonging to the class of substituted pyridines. It is used mainly as an intermediate in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
Magnesium trisilicate is an inorganic compound commonly used in pharmaceutical and gastrointestinal (GI) preparations due to its dual action. It is usually produced as a white, odorless, fine powder. It helps bind toxins or irritants in the gastrointestinal tract and occasionally used in formulations for its stabilizing properties.
Choline salicylate is a salicylate salt formed from choline and salicylic acid. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID-type compound) mainly used for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and mild antiseptic properties. Unlike acetylated salicylates, it is less irritating to the gastric mucosa and is commonly used in topical oral preparations such as gels and mouth paints.
TensyraTM N-10 (Octoxinol 10; tert-octyl phenyl ethoxylate) is a non-ionic surfactant known for its excellent solubilizing and membrane-permeabilizing properties. It features a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain paired with a lipophilic aromatic hydrocarbon group.It readily breaks down biological membranes to lyse cells, solubilize proteins, and permeabilize cell membranes for assays.
Teprenone (Geranylgeranylacetone, GGA) is a mixture of the all-trans and mono-cis isomers of 6,10,14,18-tetramethyl-5,9,13,17-nonadecatetraen-2-one (in a weight ratio of 3:2). It is an acyclic isoprenoid compound with a structure like retinoids and is widely used for the treatment of gastrointestinal ulcers.
