The technology of electronics has shown very remarkable progress and electronic devices such as cellular phones and personal computers have become more and more popular. High performance, high accuracy and the miniaturization of those electronic devices have been eagerly required.
ISK has supplied high-purity titanium dioxides as raw materials of ceramic capacitors, noise filters and so on which are used in those electronics devices.

As in this figure, titanium dioxide grades with higher purity and/or smaller particle size start to shrink at relatively lower temperature.
Thus the purer and smaller grades can be expected to show higher reactivity in the synthesis of complex oxides such as barium titanate.
