Material	Titanium oxide
	There are two different types of titanium oxides: TiO2, and Ti2O3. Both are almost exclusively used in the textile field as thread guides or components for textile machines for delicate yarns with medium-high stress. TiO2 (density 4.26 kg/liter) gives low friction and wear resistance. The Ti2O3 version (black, density 4.6 kg/liter) is furthermore an electrical conductor, and therefore allows for dissipation of electrostatic charges from yarns on textile machines (e.g. knitting machines.)

Price	TiO2 with a minimum purity of 94% can be purchased for 50 DKK/kg. If the required purity is more than 99,8%, prices vary from 900 DKK/kg up to 56,000 DKK/kg. Ti2O3 is more expensive, and high purity grades can cost between 6000 and 9000 DKK/kg.
Additional Info	The variation of price depends on purities and amounts of material purchased.
