LLC "TITANIUM TRADING COMPANY" is one of the largest manufacturers of titanium dioxide pigment in Eastern Europe.


It offers titanium dioxide products for paintwork materials and mechanical rubber goods, plastics making, coatings with resistance, printing ink manufacturing, and other applications. 


The plant has two main units («Titan-1» and «Titan-2»), each with a(design) production capacity of 53,000 tons per year.


The production of titanium dioxide at the plant uses Ilmenite as a feedstock, using concentrated Sulfuric acid to dissolve the ground ore. Iron based impurities are reduced to Iron (II) in solution; the liquid mixture is then filtered, and Iron (II) is removed by selective crystallization and centrifugal separation on cooling of the solution. Next the Titanyl sulfate solution is evaporatively concentrated.


The Titanyl sulfate solution is hydrolyzed producing amorphous flakes of titanium dioxide, which are then filtered and washed. Filtered titanium dioxide is then calcined to drive off water. Further surface treatment and grinding may be applied to the titanium dioxide for specific uses or properties of the titanium dioxide pigment.
