โฆ Synopsis
Hitox titanium pigment prices raised
Hitox buff-coloured titanium pigments, a proprietary range of products derived by milling synrutile imported from a captively owned plant in Malaysia, are typically used as substitutes or supplements to conventional TiO 2 pigments in applications requiring high opacity. Tor Minerals, the supplier, announces price changes rather less frequently than the major suppliers of conventional TiO 2 pigments. The company also has a better trackrecord of success in implementing its price increases.
It raised its prices for Hitox titanium pigments in January 2008 and it has just announced a $0.05 per pound price increase, effective as from 1 July 2008. The company is also optimistic about the potential for its newly introduced Tioprem range of titanium pigments in orange, beige, brown and grey.
