TiO2 production escalated around the Globe in 2011
February 03/2012
(polyestertime) -- The world titanium dioxide (TiO2)
production trended higher in 2011. A boost to the highest extent was observed in
China. This is owing to a considerable demand boost in the country. Local makers
were forced to ramp up their capacities to satisfy clients’ rising demand for
the material.
China’s output of TiO2 pigment reached 1.4 million tonnes, up by over
7.9 percent from 2010.
Meanwhile, global production of TiO2 reached
almost 6.55 million tonnes, in comparison with 5.66 million tonnes in 2010.
For instance, USA makers increased their TiO2 capacity by 0.1 million
tonnes on the preceding year.
