Cristal Chemicals
National Titanium Dioxide company Ltd.
("Cristal") and Millennium Inorganic Chemicals (MIC) combine to
form the world's second-largest producer of titanium dioxide and a
leading producer of titanium chemicals.
Locally-mined mineral sands are processed at
Kemerton and then transported to Australind for final processing
and packaging for export.
Manufacturing began at Australind in 1963
producing about 10,000 tonnes per year, rising to 36,000 tonnes in
1975.
In 1988 production doubled with the construction
of a new, chloride-based manufacturing facility on 55 hectares at
Kemerton Industrial Park.
The chloride plant was the catalyst for the
establishment of associated industries to supply oxygen, nitrogen,
chlorine, caustic and lime slurry.
Improvements and expansions at Kemerton and
Australind during the past 15 years have increased annual output to
100,000 tonnes which is mostly exported to Asia.
Titanium dioxide is a white powder used in the
manufacture of paint and plastics, printing inks, cosmetics,
ceramics, soaps, sunscreens and glass.
