Tio2, as a coating of important white paint, its usage is quite considerable. In recent years, domestic titanium dioxide enterprise all won the high profits, but the titanium dioxide industry's problems cannot be neglected. For the present, backward in technology and excess capacity basic has become a development bottleneck of titanium dioxide industry's future.

According to information, the standard of our country is different from foreign standard. Especially the rutile type of titanium dioxide has only one type, making a lot of newly developmental, introduced and special titanium dioxide varieties not match China's present standards . At the same time, the production enterprises and users are only for a long time in accordance with the national standard to control and accept the product quality, not according to user's needs through changing the production process to meet the different needs of customers.

No matter sulfuric acid process or chlorination process, the domestic quality of the rutile type of titanium dioxide has a large gap with the imported products. The main performance are  in low reducing power and covering, bad weather fastness, poor oil dispersion , high oil absorption . So domestic rutile type of titanium dioxide still cannot resist the competition of import rutile type of titanium dioxide, and each year need import much the rutile type of titanium dioxide. Based on the level of titanium dioxide pigments with high refractive index,  strong reducing power and covering power, good dispersion, whiteness, non-toxic, physical and chemical stability, and excellent optical and electrical performance,  Tio2 is very versatile, ranging from coatings, plastic, paper, chemical fiber, printing ink, rubber, cosmetics, etc. One of the most is the coating, about 57%. Especially the rutile type of titanium dioxide, most were consumed by coating industry. With  the rapid rise of China's automobile industry, building industry and the waterborne coatings. Coating industry not only needs more tio2, but also requires higher quality and the more variety.

At present, the restriction of resources use and the standard of technology and so on, the development of titanium dioxide industry mainly depends on imported raw materials. In addition, the low level of titanium dioxide repetitive construction causing excess capacity and a sharp fall in the price leads to the confusion of low end market competition and vicious circle in the domestic market of titanium dioxide.

Statistics show that, in 2011, production capacity of titanium dioxide is about 2.6 million tons, device starts only 70%, which initially revealed the excess capacity under way. But, in recent years, due to domestic titanium dioxide industry effected by benefit growth, related businesses increase production capacity. It is estimated that if current yield to be all completed on schedule, in 2015, production capacity of domestic titanium dioxide industry  will reach 4.4 million tons. In sharp contrast, in 2011 China's apparent consumption is 1.64 million tons of titanium dioxide, an increase of 11%. According to the annual average growth of 15% calculation, a demand to 2015 for 2.9 million tons only. The industry expert thinks, chlorination process technology represents the development direction of titanium dioxide process in our country. Relevant departments have put the chlorination process of titanium dioxide  on the key support field, but because the technology is very complex, and the maturity, improvemnet and promotion also need a process.

Deputy secretary-general of China coating association, YangYuanDe said, chlorination process of titanium dioxide production technology is advanced and the advantages are obvious, but soon to let more enterprises into implementation is not a reality.  Chlorination process of titanium dioxide production was listed in the national key support areas and the state will support by strengthening the investment and financing and the perfection of the financial service and the macro environment and intensifying  ipr protection,  to constantly improve the technology innovation environment constructiondomestic of chlorination process titanium dioxide.

About the development of domestic chlorination process of titanium dioxide, titanium dioxide of domestic senior experts, LiuChangHe thinks, at present the expand production of  chlorination process is premature, because its technology is very complex, and it usually takes  post-processing according to the market application of coatings, plastic, paper and other products, which the equirements of production equipment and material are very high, which the core technology and connection technology are very hard to control, and the investment is huge. The state and the local be cautious about project of investment chlorination process of titanium dioxide project of investment .

Titanos group, in the beginning of this year, cooperated with Shanghai Jiaotong University establishing Shanghai Jiaotong University-Titanos group —research and development center of joint of new powder material , which officially launched the post-processing work of titanium dioxide industry according to different segmentation and use difference.
