Rutile sand

Natural Rutile Sand with high purity of 92%-95%, ideal for welding electrodes and ceramic rods. Wash and plant processed for better performance and price. Chemical Composition: Rutile sand is predominantly composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2), typically containing at least 95% TiO2. It may also contain small amounts of other impurities like iron oxide (Fe2O3), silica (SiO2), and alumina (Al2O3). Crystal Structure: Rutile has a tetragonal crystal structure, characterized by its distinctive elongated prismatic or needle-like crystals. This crystal structure gives rutile sand its unique appearance. Color and Appearance: Rutile sand is typically reddish-brown to black in color, depending on the impurities present. It is often shiny and metallic in luster. Hardness: Rutile is relatively hard and has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, making it durable and resistant to abrasion. Density: Rutile has a high density, typically ranging from 4.2 to 4.3 grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
