Tilox Black

Model Number

Black TiO2

The Background of the product

It is the carbon black and black iron oxide which are widely used as black color pigments for the
make-up products.
These agents are cost effective, but they are avoided for a use whenever possible; for the iron
oxide, it is a magnetic material that has a poor dispersion ability in water, for the carbon black, it is
that has no compatibility with water which makes it is some problem to be used in cosmetics.
TiLox-Black, reduced titanium oxide, has a many advantages; highly dispersion ability in water,
superior endurance against corrosion of acids & alkali, lower coagulation as a cosmetic and semiconducting
powder, even distribution of molecules, strong resistance to high temperature, low
absorbance in oil, and so on. Especially TiLox-Black has hydrophilic and safe nature in heat and
chemical, and is titanium oxide that has no harm in man's health.
The TiLox-Black has many superior characteristics as a material itself, but as a commercial one
it is only available at a high price by one or two of patent-holder company which makes it difficult to
be used widely. But using our advanced powder manufacturing technology, we can provide our
customers(world-wide cosmetic company) with a TiLox-Black that is a clear black color pigment.
It has been came up with the method of SHS process(Self-propagating High temperature
Synthesis) which can have a reduction into the deoxidized titania(TiO2-x) by mixing and pressing
titania particle(TiO2) with a special reducing agent and making it combustion.
This new method of manufacturing features doesn't need to have outer heat which is required to
maintain reduction degrees by using SHS system, up-to-date ceramic manufacturing technology
and also using a special reducing agent, less expensive than NaBH4.
We expect that this product should contribute to improve the quality of cosmetics through the
wide extending distribution of TiLox-Black.

Characteristics of TiLox Black

"TILOX BLACK", manufactured by new technology, is clear black pigment produced by reducing
Titanium Dioxide(TiO2) with Magnesium(Mg) powder.
The most popular black pigments in cosmetic products nowadays are Carbon Black and Iron
Oxide Black (Fe3O4). However, these pigments have inferior properties (low dispersion ability,
stability and color chroma°¶).
"TILOX BLACK" is superior in these characteristics to Carbon Black and Iron Black and also
harmless to humans as it is made with Titanium Dioxide, which is a suitable material for cosmetic application. This product is also superior in thermal stability, acid resistance and alkali resistance.
