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

HS v2022 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. Titanium dioxide is a widely used white pigment that provides excellent opacity, brightness, and durability in a variety of applications. The products under this code are essential inputs for industries such as paints, plastics, paper, and cosmetics, playing a crucial role in 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 chemical precipitation, calcination, and micronization, to produce the desired particle size, crystal structure, and surface properties. The final products are then formulated with other additives and binders to create the specific colouring matter or pigment preparations.

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, surfactants, and other additives used in the formulation of the final products. Additionally, the production process requires specialized machinery for tasks such as grinding, mixing, and packaging.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 320619 are primarily used as colouring agents, pigments, and opacifiers in a wide range of industries. These products are commonly used in the manufacture of 320110 Paints and varnishes, 390000 Plastics and articles thereof, 470000 Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard, and 330000 Cosmetic or toilet preparations. The versatility of titanium dioxide-based pigments and colouring matter makes them essential inputs for various consumer and industrial applications.
