Products

The company produces approximately 40 different TiO2 grades, sold under the Kronos trademark. Its TiO2 is produced in two crystalline forms: rutile and anatase. Rutile TiO2 is manufactured using both a chloride production process and a sulfate production process, whereas anatase TiO2 is produced using a sulfate production process. TiO2 is an inorganic pigment used to impart whiteness, brightness and opacity for products such as coatings, plastics, paper, fibers, food, ceramics, and cosmetics.

The company manufactures and sells titanium oxychloride and titanyl sulfate, which are side-stream products from the production of TiO2.
