Sierra Rutile's Key Products
A Standard Grade Rutile (SGR), industry leading high quality product, consumed
primarily in the manufacture of titanium dioxide pigment and titanium sponge.
Accounts for 85-90% of Sierra Rutile's annual rutile production.
Industrial Grade Rutile (IGR), well suited to high quality flux core wire welding
applications due to its high packing density and low contaminant level.
High-grade chloride ilmenite, suitable for direct chlorination into titanium
dioxide pigment and transformation into titanium slag.
Key Supplier to the titanium dioxide feedstock market
TiO2 Pigment
Paint, paper, plastics, inks, coatings -
90% of titanium dioxide is used as pigment
Titanium Metal
Aircraft frames and engines, medical
Natural Rutile - The Superior Feedstock
Titanium feedstocks are a US$4bn+ industry dominated by lower grade and more
energy-intensive synthetic rutile and titanium slag products.
Natural rutile is the highest grade form of titanium feedstock, containing 95% TiO2 by
weight, making it the preferred raw ingredient for the cleaner, greener chloride
pigment production process.
Benefits of Sierra Rutile's natural rutile:
▲ Fewer contaminants; generating high value-in-use
▲ Higher TiO2 content means less ore is required (reducing freight) and less
waste is generated
▲ Lower chlorine/petcoke consumption and higher chlorinator utilisation
▲ Reduced energy/carbon consumption
