Colouring matter; pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, containing less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry weight

HS v2017 Code: 320619

About colouring matter; pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, containing less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry weight

HS code 320619 covers a range of colouring matter, pigments, and preparations based on titanium dioxide, which are essential inputs for various industries. Titanium dioxide is a widely used white pigment known for its exceptional opacity, brightness, and durability. Products under this code find applications in paints, coatings, plastics, paper, textiles, and cosmetics, making it a crucial component of the global manufacturing and consumer goods sectors.

Production process

The production of titanium dioxide-based pigments and colouring matter typically involves a multi-step process. The primary raw material, titanium ore, is first refined and purified to extract the titanium dioxide. This is then processed through various techniques, such as the chloride or sulfate process, to produce the desired grade of titanium dioxide pigment. The pigment is then formulated with other additives and binders to create the final colouring matter or preparation.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the production of HS code 320619 products include titanium ore, various chemical reagents, and specialized production equipment. Titanium ore, the primary raw material, is typically mined and processed to extract the titanium dioxide. Other key inputs may include solvents, dispersants, and other additives used in the formulation of the final products. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery and equipment for refining, purification, and blending the materials.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 320619 are titanium dioxide-based pigments, colouring matter, and preparations. These products are widely used as inputs for a range of industries, including 320111 Pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, 320120 Pigments and preparations based on chromium compounds, 320130 Pigments and preparations based on cadmium compounds, and 320190 Other colouring matter and other preparations. The versatility of titanium dioxide-based products ensures their widespread adoption in paints, coatings, plastics, paper, textiles, and cosmetics, among other applications.
