According to Eduardo Tavares, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Tiasa, R$ 100 million was invested in the development of technology and pilot plants for the project that will be built in Bahia.
Eduardo states that “This titanium dioxide project is innovative, developed over the last 10 years, and is important for the country, which is a product importer. Two-thirds of Brazilian consumption is supplied by China and the United States, and Brazil could become less dependent on imported products, benefiting the trade balance, creating jobs, and serving the local industry. The technology, developed by national technicians, is environmentally friendly and sustainable.”

In addition to titanium dioxide pigments used for various purposes, such as real estate paints, glass and plastic production, and as a base for solar protection, there is a second byproduct, synthetic hematite, which is used in the steel industry.
