Titanium Dioxide (Anatase)

Anatase for Industrial Applications
Anatase for industrial applications, intended for use in ceramic frits and glazes, as well as in formulations requiring an opacifying agent or optical modifier.
Description
At PILATO, we market titanium dioxide (TiO₂) in its anatase form for the industrial market in Spain. Through a company-wide, integrated quality management system, we ensure immediate product availability and an operational approach focused on meeting our customers’ delivery schedules and technical requirements, while integrating seamlessly into their supply chains. Technical identification: TiO₂ (Anatase) Anatase titanium dioxide is used as a functional raw material in a wide range of industrial applications, particularly where whiteness, opacity and formulation stability are required.
  • Ceramic frits and glazes, where it acts as an opacifier and adds whiteness to the coating.
  • Industrial formulations requiring an addition of white-toned titanium dioxide.
  • Paints and coatings, thanks to its high refractive index, the property responsible for hiding power.
  • Engobes and ceramic bodies where a light, uniform base is required before glazing.

The product is supplied in 25 kg bags and big bags, supported by agile logistics to facilitate its integration into production processes already validated by our customers.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Titanium Dioxide (Anatase)

Why choose anatase rather than rutile?

Both are titanium dioxide (TiO₂) but they crystallise differently and have their own CAS numbers. Anatase is selected when the criterion is whiteness and a cooler tone. Rutile is the form that is stable at high temperature and produces warmer tones. They are not interchangeable in a formulation without reviewing the resulting colour.

It provides opacity and whiteness. Its high refractive index scatters the light passing through the coating, and that scattering is what prevents the body from showing through. In certain compositions it also promotes crystal formation during cooling, giving matt or satin finishes.

Yes. Above a certain temperature anatase converts irreversibly to rutile, the thermodynamically stable form. The optical effect of anatase in a fired glaze therefore depends on the thermal cycle of the process, and should be checked against each plant’s actual firing curve.
