PPG has announced that it has started using titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment from Lomon Billions’ new chloride production line. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed.

New Line to Meet PPG’S TiO₂ Requirements

PPG will purchase TiO₂ from Lomon Billions’ second line for use in manufacturing paints and coatings at many of its global production facilities. The new line’s quality meets or exceeds PPG’s TiO₂ requirements.

“We appreciate Lomon Billions’ continued investment in this key raw material for the paints and coatings industry,” said JT Jones, PPG vice president, procurement. “Their chloride technology capacity expansion reflects their commitment to the TiO₂ industry and to providing reliable, high quality supply to PPG globally.”

“This is an important milestone and marks a successful start of Lomon Billions’ new chloride production line,” said Ruiqing Tan, vice chairman, Lomon Billions. “We will continue providing reliable and high-quality titanium dioxide to PPG globally from our new and existing lines.”

TiO₂ is an important raw material widely used by PPG and other paints and coatings manufacturers as a pigment to provide hiding, durability and whiteness characteristics.
