Growing Opportunities for Canada’s Titanium Manufacturing Sector
Canada is a major global producer of titanium materials, particularly ilmenite—an iron-titanium oxide sourced from the Lac Tio mine in Quebec, the world’s largest solid ilmenite deposit. Over 90% of ilmenite is refined to produce titanium dioxide, a white, highly reflective powder used in paints and coatings, plastics and paper, cosmetics and sunscreens, food, textiles, and countless other everyday products. Ilmenite is also used to extract titanium metal, a lightweight, corrosion-resistant material essential in industries from aerospace and defense to sporting goods. The reason why this matters for Canadian small business owners is because rising global demand is opening opportunities to supply materials, create titanium-based products, or tap into export markets that value high-performance, sustainable materials. In other words, whether you make, move, or market products, titanium could be part of your next growth strategy.Read full article here: https://canadiansme.ca/growing-opportunities-for-canadas-titanium-manufacturing-sector/
