Discover more industry insights and applications in TLD Vietnam’s latest blog. What Is The Chemical Formula For Titanium Dioxide? Titanium dioxide has the chemical formula TiO₂. It doesn’t actually naturally occur in pure form. Instead, it’s usually found in combination with other compounds, such as igneous rocks. For instance, in

Polystyrene is a type of polymer that is transparent, rigid, brittle, and moderately strong in unmodified state. It is a plastic made by polymerization, which combines the building block compound called styrene. This material is used in different forms, including foam, film, and rigid plastic, for applications from food packaging to electronics protection. In this article, TLD Vietnam will explore what Polystyrene is, its key features, the production process, and its diverse applications in manufacturing. Definition Of Polystyrene Polystyrene, also known by the chemical formula C8H8 or its abbreviated name PS, is a thermoplastic polymer that is derived from the
