Product Description
When your research demands the highest purity, this titanium(IV) oxide delivers. With a 99.999% trace metal basis and predominantly rutile crystal structure, it’s engineered for applications where even trace impurities can compromise results. Whether you’re working on advanced catalysis, photovoltaic research, or high-precision material science, this grade ensures consistency and reliability.
The rutile form of titanium dioxide is particularly valued for its superior refractive index and stability under extreme conditions. Unlike anatase variants, rutile offers enhanced photochemical properties, making it a preferred choice for solar cell research and UV-resistant coatings. Researchers in India trust this product for its batch-to-batch uniformity, which is critical for reproducible experimental outcomes.
For students and educators, this high-purity titanium oxide serves as an excellent reference material for demonstrating semiconductor properties, photocatalysis, or even as a standard in analytical chemistry. Its fine particle size and minimal agglomeration make it easy to disperse in solvents or binders, simplifying lab procedures.

Safety is paramount when handling high-purity chemicals. While titanium dioxide is generally inert, always use appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles) and work in a well-ventilated area. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials like strong acids or reducing agents.
FAQs
What is the difference between rutile and anatase titanium dioxide?
Rutile has a higher refractive index and is more stable at high temperatures, making it ideal for optical and high-durability applications. Anatase is more photocatalytically active but less thermally stable.
Can this product be used in food or cosmetic formulations?
This is a research-grade chemical and not certified for food, drug, or cosmetic use. For industrial applications, ensure compliance with local regulations.
How do I verify the 99.999% purity?
The certificate of analysis (CoA) provided with each batch details trace metal content. eqipped can share CoA upon request for quality assurance.
Is this titanium dioxide suitable for UV-blocking experiments?
Yes, the rutile form is highly effective for UV absorption studies, often used as a benchmark in sunscreen and coating research.
What is the typical particle size of this powder?
The product features sub-micron particles with a narrow size distribution,
