Mineral sands contain heavy minerals, such as ilmenite, zircon, leucoxene, and rutile that are mined for titanium dioxide (TiO2) production.
We make titanium dioxide. And if we do say so, we’re pretty brilliant at it.
Tronox mines and processes titanium ore, zircon, rare earths and other materials and manufactures titanium dioxide pigment, specialty-grade titanium dioxide products and high-purity titanium chemicals.
Our products add brightness and durability to paints, coatings, inks, plastics, paper and a vast array of everyday items.
From Mine to Pigment
“From Mine to Pigment” captures the wide scope and vertical integration of our global operations. At Tronox, we realize the mark we leave behind extends beyond the minerals we extract or the products we manufacture. Operating safely and responsibly is integral to how we do business, and it enables us to safely deliver high-quality titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment, specialty TiO2 and zircon products for our customers.
