Product Overview
Rutile Titanium Oxide Nanoparticles are a form of titanium dioxide (TiO2) distinguished by their rutile crystalline structure, which is the most stable and dense form of TiO2. These nanoparticles are particularly valued for their high refractive index and excellent UV light scattering abilities, making them essential in industries such as paints, coatings, and sunscreens. The nanoparticles' small size enhances their effectiveness by increasing surface area and improving their optical properties.
Key factor
- High Refractive Index: Rutile TiO2 has a higher refractive index than the anatase form, making it superior for applications requiring high opacity and brightness.
- Stability: The rutile form is thermally stable up to 750°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
- UV Resistance: Excellent for absorbing ultraviolet light, which is crucial for products requiring UV protection.
- Durability: Rutile nanoparticles are chemically inert and wear-resistant, enhancing the durability of products they are used in.
- Photocatalytic Properties: Although less active than anatase, rutile TiO2 still possesses photocatalytic properties beneficial for self-cleaning surfaces.
Applications
- Sunscreen and Skincare Products: Provides effective UV protection while remaining inert on the skin.
- Paints and Coatings: Enhances durability and UV resistance of paints, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
- Plastics and Polymers: Improves UV resistance and mechanical properties of plastics, preventing degradation over time.
- Catalysis: Used in photocatalytic applications for air and water purification despite its lower activity compared to anatase.
- Optical Components: Due to its high refractive index, it is used in optical instruments and fibers.
Advantages
- Superior UV Blocking: Offers robust protection against UV rays, essential for materials exposed to sunlight.
- Enhanced Product Lifespan: Increases the lifespan of products by providing excellent physical and chemical stability.
- Environmental Resistance: Provides resistance to harsh environmental conditions, including high temperatures and corrosive substances.
- Safety in Use: Recognized as safe for use in consumer products, including food packaging and cosmetics.
- Versatility: Can be incorporated into a wide range of materials and products due to its stability and non-reactive nature.
