Abstract

See full text

Powders such as pigmentary titanium dioxide (TiO2) often demonstrate poor bulk handling properties. It is very cohesive, often dusty, and many grades have loose bulk densities that are lower than desired by customers for their processes. The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing low-dusting, smoothly-discharging, easily dispersible, powders such as pigmentary titanium dioxide that resist compaction, aging, lumping, and/or caking. Particularly, the present invention relates to a process for treating powders such as pigmentary titanium dioxide with ammonia or a similarly basic substance prior to or during agglomeration to produce a powder with improved bulk handling properties. The present invention also relates to powders treated as such, including titanium dioxide.
