I want to buy tio2 powder 40 micrometer for thermal spray coating. What specification i should select? Either i go for rutile form or anatase form? I need good flowbility. What is the difference between these two forms?
For what purpose do you want to use TiO2 coatings?
Among the two TiO2 crystalline phases, anatase and rutile that can contribute to the photocatalysis, it is generally assumed that the anatase—the metastable phase, which by thermal treatment irreversibly turns into rutile—allows a higher-photocatalytic degradation of the pollutants.
The following references can guide you to address the issue: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11666-014-0066-5
Spherical particles/granules present better flowability, however particle size distribution and density of the particles are also important parameters.
