Rutile sand is a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and commonly used in the production of titanium dioxide pigment. It is also used as a feedstock for the production of titanium metal, as well as for welding and electrode production due to its high melting point and conductivity. Rutile sand typically contains a high percentage of titanium dioxide, with the purity ranging from 95% to 98%.
Primary Composition: Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)
Typical Purity: 95% - 98%
Origin: Natural mineral, commonly sourced from coastal sand deposits.
Color: Reddish-brown to black.
High Melting Point
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Primary Industrial Applications
Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)Pigment Production: The principal use. Rutile sand is the key feedstock for manufacturing white pigments used in:
Paints & Coatings
Plastics
Paper
Cosmetics
Titanium Metal Production: Serves as a primary raw material for the production of titanium metal and alloys via the chlorination process.
Welding & Electrodes: Utilized in the manufacture of welding rod flux coatings and electrodes due to its arc-stabilizing properties and high-temperature performance.
Specialized Applications: Used in precision casting (as part of mold facings) and in the production of certain ceramics and glass.
High Electrical Conductivity
Chemical Stability

Advantages
There are several advantages of using rutile sand:
High purity: Rutile sand typically contains a high percentage of titanium dioxide, with the purity ranging from 95% to 98%, making it ideal for use in the production of high-quality titanium dioxide pigment.
High melting point: Rutile sand has a high melting point, which makes it ideal for use in the production of welding electrodes, where high temperatures are required.
Corrosion resistance: Rutile sand is highly resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for use in a variety of industrial applications where resistance to corrosion is important.
Conductivity: Rutile sand is a good conductor of electricity, making it ideal for use in the production of welding electrodes and other applications where conductivity is important.
Abundance: Rutile sand is a naturally occurring mineral that is widely available, making it a cost-effective option for use in industrial applications.

Which certifications has our company obtained?We offer the following standard packaging configurations for sea shipment:
Option A: 25 kg bags (inner packaging), which are then consolidated into a Big Bag / Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC).
Option B: 1 metric ton (1,000 kg) directly packaged in a single Big Bag / FIBC.
The designated packaging (25kg bags within FIBCs or 1-ton FIBCs) is specifically designed and tested to be suitable and secure for ocean transportation.
This ensures product integrity and safety during long-distance maritime shipping.
Palletization & Boxing: We can provide palletization of the bags/Big Bags, along with full boxing or shrink-wrapping for maximum stability and protection.
