Division Criterion 2. Titanium Dioxide pigmentF1

If the product contains more than 3,0 % w/w of titanium dioxide, the emissions and discharges of wastes from the production of any titanium dioxide pigment used shall not exceed the following:

For the sulphate process:

• SOx calculated as SO₂ : 7,0 kg/tonne TiO₂ pigment

• Sulphate waste: 500 kg/tonne TiO₂ pigment

For the chloride process:

• If natural rutile ore is used, 103 kg chloride waste/tonne TiO₂ pigment

• If synthetic rutile ore is used: 179 kg chloride waste/tonne TiO₂ pigment

• If slag ore is used: 329 kg chloride waste/tonne TiO₂ pigment

If more than one type of ore is used, the values will apply in proportion to the quantity of the individual ore types used.

Assessment and verification: the applicant shall submit supporting documentation showing compliance by the titanium dioxide producer manufacturing the raw material for the paint product either in the form of a declaration of non-use or a declaration supported by data indicating that the respective levels of process emissions and waste discharges of wastes are met.
