Australian Titanium Oxide Production Continues

Australian TiWest, the company that produces Titanium Oxide (TiO2) will continue operation by Tronox of US Texas. TiWest titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a joint venture in western Australia. The production has been badly hit by a force majeure declaration due to natural gas supply limitation.

Tronox however mentioned that the sustainability of the TiO2 production is now susceptible to supply of natural gas and electricity.

TiWest complex houses Cooljarloo mineral sands mine, Chandala synthetic rutile plant and Kwinana titanium dioxide pigment plant. The disruption of natural gas supply cost has not been revealed yet.
