Car paint, ceramic water cups, cosmetics, sports shoes. These seemingly unrelated items actually belong to the same "circle of friends", and their "bodies" all add the same special powder-titanium dioxide.
Titanium dioxide has a reputation of "industrial monosodium glutamate" in the field of new materials, and its ultra-white and super-bright characteristics make it very "versatile", so it is also known as high-quality "whitening agent" and "brightener".
At 17:00 on April 13th, the titanium dioxide production area of Longbai Group, headquartered in Jiaozuo City, was busy, with trucks loaded with "Xuelian Brand" titanium dioxide ready to go.
Zhang Yurong, assistant president of Longbai Group, said that at present, Longbai Group has an annual output of 1.51 million tons of titanium dioxide, ranking first in the world. China's market share is more than 50%, and the global market share is about 16%. High-end products sell well in more than 100 countries and regions. The group has an annual production capacity of 660000 tons of chlorinated titanium dioxide using advanced production technology, realizing the industrial production of a series of high-end titanium dioxide.
Since it entered the field of titanium dioxide production in 1988, Longbai Group has taken more than 30 years to grow from a "new seedling" to a "giant tree".
In addition to low impurity content and ultra-white color, the high-end titanium dioxide produced by Longbai Group also has advantages in weather resistance and dispersion. Popularly speaking, weather resistance is stability, so that items will not yellowing for a long time, good brightness; dispersion is uniformity, affecting the gloss and stability of the coating film.
There are 5 main evaluation indexes for the quality of titanium dioxide. Authoritative testing data show that the content of volatile organic compounds in chlorinated titanium dioxide of Longbai Group is in the leading level in the world. the water dispersibility, light retention, light fastness and crack resistance all occupy the international advanced level.
National manufacturing individual champion demonstration enterprises, national technological innovation demonstration enterprises, titanium dioxide industry energy efficiency "leader" enterprises, selected into the "Top 500 Chinese Manufacturing Enterprises", "Top 100 Innovation of Chinese large Enterprises", "Top 100 growth companies of listed companies" and so on. Longbai Group has a large volume and a stronger physique.
In February this year, the BLR-896+ titanium dioxide of Longbai Group met the design requirements and realized large-scale production. "this kind of titanium dioxide is used in the direction of high-end coatings, which can replace imported products and successfully achieve export." Chen Jian, vice president of research and development of Longbai Group, said.
The product determines the strength, and the quality comes from innovation.
It has platforms such as National recognized Enterprise Technology Center, National Local Joint Engineering Laboratory, Henan Academician Workstation, etc., and has established long-term technical cooperation with Academician Qiu Guanzhou of Central South University and Academician he Jilin of Zhengzhou University. Let Longbai Group break through a number of "neck jam" technologies, and have a number of titanium dioxide technology patents--
Relying on large-scale boiling chlorination technology patents and sulfur-chlorine coupled green manufacturing technology patents, a series of high-end titanium dioxide can be used in high-end fields such as coatings, papermaking, plastics and so on.
Conquer Panzhihua titanium mine to upgrade chlorination raw material technology, break through the bottleneck that domestic high perovskite can not be used in large-scale boiling chlorination process, reduce dependence on foreign raw materials, and ensure the independent and safe supply of titanium raw materials in China.
The key technologies of sulfur-iron-titanium co-production technology and titanium-lithium industry coupling make the titanium industry and new energy materials industry integrate and realize the "dry squeeze" of raw materials.
"Titanium dioxide as our leading product and star product, Longbai Group will continue to consolidate its global leading position in comprehensive competitiveness, and is expected to contribute 30 billion yuan in annual sales revenue by the end of the 14th five-year Plan. In the future, we will anchor titanium, zirconium, lithium, scandium, vanadium and other new materials R & D and manufacturing and industry integration, cultivate new productivity, and contribute to the high-quality development of new materials industry clusters in the province. " Longbai Group Chairman and Benliu said.
