Products classified under HTS 2614.00.30.00
Synthetic Rutile TiO2 Grade A
Synthetic rutile TiO2 Grade A is a high-purity titanium dioxide slag produced through the chloride process, containing over 94% TiO2 with low iron impurities. It falls under HTS 2614.00.30.00 as a synthetic titanium concentrate used primarily as a feedstock for titanium metal production and pigment manufacturing. This processed ore substitute is distinguished from natural rutile by its artificial production from ilmenite.
Chloride-Process Synthetic Rutile Slag
Chloride-process synthetic rutile slag is an upgraded ilmenite product with approximately 95% TiO2 content, created via selective chlorination to remove iron. Classified under HTS 2614.00.30.00 as synthetic titanium concentrate, it serves as a key raw material for titanium sponge production in the Kroll process. Its high purity makes it preferable over natural ores for chloride pigment plants.
Upgraded Titanium Slag (UTS) 92% TiO2
Upgraded Titanium Slag (UTS) with 92% TiO2 is produced in electric arc furnaces from ilmenite, yielding a synthetic rutile substitute for titanium production. It is classified under HTS 2614.00.30.00 as synthetic titanium ore concentrate due to its artificial processing and high titanium content. Primarily used in aerospace-grade titanium manufacturing.
Tronox Synthetic Rutile SR90
Tronox Synthetic Rutile SR90 is a branded 90%+ TiO2 product from upgraded titania slag, designed for chloride process titanium dioxide pigment production. Under HTS 2614.00.30.00, it qualifies as synthetic rutile due to its manufactured high-purity form from pre-reduced ilmenite. Ideal for sulfate and chloride TiO2 plants.
Iluka SR100 Synthetic Rutile
Iluka SR100 Synthetic Rutile is a premium synthetic titanium concentrate with 99%+ equivalent TiO2, produced via advanced slag upgrading for titanium metal smelting. Classified in HTS 2614.00.30.00 as it meets synthetic rutile criteria for processed titanium-bearing materials. Used in high-end applications like medical implants.
