Rutile Sand
TiO₂
Natural rutile mineral sand supplied for ceramic glaze effects, titanium metal production, and welding electrode applications.
Overview
Rutile sand is a naturally occurring TiO₂-bearing heavy mineral with high titanium content and characteristic golden-brown colour. In ceramics, it introduces titanium to create textured matte and crystalline glaze effects. It is also the premium feedstock for chloride-process TiO₂ pigment production and welding electrode coatings.
