Titanium Dioxide 25 kg

Bulk White Pigment for Coatings, Plastics and Cosmetic Manufacturing

Titanium dioxide is one of the few raw materials whose demand is driven simultaneously by multiple heavy industries worldwide. The largest share of global consumption of this pigment historically comes from paints and coatings, plastics compounding, paper manufacturing and film production, where the pigment delivers opacity, brightness of the white shade and resistance to UV fading. The 25 kg pack is aimed primarily at such production lines - facilities where the pigment is dosed into paint, primer, plastic compound or paper pulp formulations on a regular, large-scale basis, making batch consistency and supply reliability the key priorities. The Titanium Dioxide category is built around exactly this kind of industrial-grade packaging designed for continuous conveyor-scale production. Additional wholesale pigment powders appear in the Pigment Powders Wholesale section.

Beyond heavy industry, titanium dioxide remains a core cosmetic ingredient - used in sunscreens as a physical UV filter, in decorative cosmetics, creams and lotions as a whitening agent, and in toothpaste formulations as an opacifying filler. In dental care, the pigment is commonly paired with abrasive silica systems: for gentle-action formulas suited to sensitive enamel, manufacturers often reach for soft abrasive silicon dioxide for children and sensitive teeth (A-M), while universal toothpaste lines with a stronger polishing effect typically rely on universal silica abrasive AU.

When working with the dry powder form, it is important to remember that it does not dissolve in water and requires preliminary dispersion, either through high shear mechanical mixing or by using an oil phase as a carrier. For formulations that demand fast, stable aqueous dispersion without extended processing time, technologists often complement the dry pigment with a ready water-dispersible form, such as water-dispersible titanium dioxide, which can be added directly into the water phase without clumping risk.

In cosmetic emulsions, titanium dioxide is introduced during the oil or suspension phase at around 60-75 degrees, after pre-grinding the pigment with a portion of oil or emollient into a smooth lump-free paste, which prevents visible white specks in the finished product. Typical dosage in creams and lotions ranges from 1 to 5 percent, while sunscreen formulas may require 10 to 25 percent depending on the target protection factor. In coatings and polymer compounds, the dosage is set by the process engineer according to the required opacity of the final material.

The pigment should be stored in a dry, moisture-protected space, in tightly sealed packaging, away from direct sunlight and foreign odors, since the powder can absorb moisture from the air, which complicates subsequent dispersion. Under proper storage conditions the product retains its processing properties for an extended period, which is especially valuable when purchasing large industrial volumes.

Industrial-scale sunscreen lotion base

Titanium dioxide - 2500 g

Shea butter - 4000 g

Plant-derived emulsifier - 1800 g

Glycerin - 1200 g

Distilled water - 15000 ml

Broad-spectrum preservative - 300 g

Melt the shea butter together with the emulsifier in a water bath at 70 degrees. Separately, grind the titanium dioxide with a small amount of warm oil into a smooth, lump-free paste and add it into the oil phase under constant stirring. Heat the water with glycerin to the same temperature and slowly pour it into the oil phase while maintaining intense mixing until a stable emulsion forms. Once the mass cools to 40 degrees, add the preservative, blend until uniform and pour into containers for further protection factor testing.
