The sale of rutile by EVOLMAT MINERALS
EVOLMAT MINERALS supplies high-quality rutile, a mineral used in a variety of applications, including the production of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) as a pigment and for welding electrode coatings. The rutile supplied by EVOLMAT MINERALS is available in calcined or uncalcined form, primarily for the welding electrode sector. Rutile is valued for its high TiO₂ content, purity, stability and optical properties.
What are the applications for rutile?
RUTILE is used in:
- The production of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) (for use as a pigment and in titanium production)
- The production of welding electrodes (coating)
EVOLMAT MINERALS supplies calcined or uncalcined rutile from its plant, primarily for the welding electrode sector.
What are the properties of rutile?
RUTILE is particularly valuable due to its high titanium dioxide (TiO₂) content. It is therefore a very pure mineral with interesting properties, such as its physico-chemical stability and refractoriness, which enable it to be widely used in the coating of welding electrodes. It also has excellent optical properties. Together with ilmenite, it is one of the main raw materials for the production of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), a very pure white pigment (colour index PW6) widely used in industry. TiO₂ itself serves as a raw material for producing metallic titanium.
How is rutile packaged and delivered?
What is rutile?
RUTILE is a natural mineral composed mainly of titanium dioxide. It is the most stable form of titanium dioxide. It is extracted from the same raw material as zircon and ilmenite.
Rutile is a crystalline mineral that occurs in the form of prismatic or needle-like crystals. It is usually black or brown in colour, but can also be transparent or reddish. Rutile is mainly used in industry for its high titanium dioxide (TiO₂) content, which is a compound widely used in a variety of applications.
