Guangzhou Daily reporter learned from the website of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, including Shanghai General Motors Co., Ltd., Volkswagen (China) Sales Co., Ltd., Chrysler (China) Automobile Sales Co., Ltd. and Suzuki (China) Investment Co., Ltd. The General Administration has filed a recall plan. A total of more than 4,000 vehicles were recalled. Titanium Dioxide(TIO2)
Titanium dioxide is an important inorganic chemical pigment, the main component is titanium dioxide. The production process of titanium dioxide has two process routes: sulfuric acid method and chloride method. It has important applications in coatings, inks, papermaking, plastics and rubber, chemical fiber, ceramics and other industries.
It has two types: rutile type (Rutile R type) and anatase type (Anatase A type). The rutile crystal structure is compact, relatively stable, and has low optical activity, so it has good weather resistance, and has high hiding power and decolorizing power.
Titanium dioxide is widely used in coatings, plastics, rubber, ink, paper, chemical fiber, ceramics, daily chemicals, medicine, food and other industries.

Among them, Shanghai GM recalled some of the 2011 Cadillac Escalade vehicles, with production dates ranging from May 10 to May 13, 2011, involving 80 vehicles in the Chinese mainland market; and Volkswagen is back to July 10, 2014. Part of the imported 2015 Beetle 2.0T models produced during the period from November 1, 2014 to a total of 112 vehicles; Chrysler will recall some 2011 imported Grand Cherokee from December 31, 2014, with a production date of 2010. From January 5th to July 20th, 2011, 3369 vehicles were involved; while Suzuki (China) invested from January 16, 2015, recalled some imported Kaiser West cars from 2009 to 2012, the production date is 2009 6 From March 3 to July 21, 2012, 1045 vehicles were involved.
The automotive industry has been culminating in the global market because of the defective airbags provided by Japan’s Takada, including 10 automakers including GM, BMW, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Since 2008, it has been recalled globally. More than 24 million cars using Takada airbags. This year, it is even more plunging into the recall. It is understood that the most affected or GM, the total number of vehicles recalled by General Motors this year due to Takada airbags exceeded 15 million.
The industry said that the large-scale recall caused by Takada airbags has become the biggest recall in history. Previously, in 1996, Ford's 7.9 million vehicles were recalled, Toyota's "pedal door" from 2009 to 2011 (more than 10 million vehicles before and after) and Toyota's recall of 7.4 million vehicles in 2012 due to electric window switches.
Industry: Frequent recalls affect consumer experience Automotive industry veterans say that frequent car recalls not only affect the consumer experience, but also damage the reputation of car manufacturers.
The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that the economic operation of the automobile industry from January to November showed that the national automobile production and sales in November this year were 2,160,700 and 2,090,900 respectively, and the production and sales increased by 1.2% and 2.3% respectively; the production and sales increased by 5.7% and 5.2% respectively. From January to November this year, the production and sales of automobiles were 21.34 million and 21.0791 million, respectively, a year-on-year increase of 7.2% and 6.1%. The growth rate of production and sales decreased by 7.14 and 7.43 percentage points respectively compared with the same period of last year.
Dr. Qiao Liang, executive director of China Automotive Engineering Society, told the Guangzhou Daily reporter that with the large number of cars entering the daily life of ordinary people, safety is the first priority. Frequent recalls will inevitably affect the consumer experience. Some users are driving. I have to worry about whether my car will fail. Dr. Qiao Liang also said that with the increase in automobile production, various auto companies should regard control quality as the main entry point to enhance their market influence. Only in this way can they win more shares in the fierce market competition.
Near the end of 2014, a number of automakers announced recalls, mainly due to different companies. Shanghai GM's imported Cadillac Escalade part of the ignition lock cylinder parts size does not meet the supplier control standards, Chrysler is due to the defect of the fuel pump relay in the fully integrated power module of some imported Grand Cherokee vehicles, and Volkswagen Some of the imported beetles may have fuel leaks at the end of a few fuel distribution pipe ends.
Since the beginning of this year, due to the defective airbags provided by Takata Corporation of Japan, the global automobile industry has been in a large-scale recall, and the number of recalls exceeded 20 million in the whole year.
The industry said that the popularity of automobiles has higher requirements for car quality, and frequent recalls not only affect the consumer experience, but also adversely affect the reputation of car companies.
The coating industry is the largest user of titanium dioxide, especially Rutile Titanium Dioxide, most of which is consumed by the coating industry. The paint made of titanium dioxide has bright colors, high hiding power, strong tinting power, low dosage, and many varieties. It can protect the stability of the medium, and can enhance the mechanical strength and adhesion of the paint film to prevent cracks. Prevent the penetration of ultraviolet rays and moisture, and extend the life of the paint film.
The plastics industry is the second largest user. Adding titanium dioxide to plastics can improve the heat resistance, light resistance, and weather resistance of plastic products, improve the physical and chemical properties of plastic products, enhance the mechanical strength of the products, and extend the service life.
The paper industry is the third largest user of titanium dioxide. As a paper filler, it is mainly used in high-grade paper and thin paper. Adding titanium dioxide to the paper can make the paper have better whiteness, good gloss, high strength, thin and smooth, no penetration during printing, and light weight. Titanium dioxide for papermaking generally uses Anatase Titanium Dioxide without surface treatment, which can act as a fluorescent whitening agent and increase the whiteness of paper. However, laminated paper requires the use of surface-treated rutile titanium dioxide to meet the requirements of light resistance and heat resistance.
Titanium dioxide is also an indispensable white pigment in advanced inks. The ink containing titanium dioxide is durable and does not change color, has good surface wettability and is easy to disperse. The titanium dioxide used in the ink industry has rutile type and anatase type.
The textile and chemical fiber industry is another important application field of titanium dioxide. Titanium dioxide for chemical fiber is mainly used as a matting agent. Since the anatase type is softer than the gold red type, the anatase type is generally used. Titanium dioxide for chemical fiber generally does not require surface treatment, but in order to reduce the photochemical effect of titanium dioxide and prevent the fiber from degrading under the action of titanium dioxide photocatalysis, surface treatment is required for some special varieties.
The enamel industry is an important application field of titanium dioxide. The enamel grade titanium dioxide has high purity, good whiteness, fresh color, uniform particle size, strong refractive index and high color reducing power, and has strong turbidity and Opacity, make the coating thin, smooth and strong acid resistance after enamelling. It can be evenly mixed with other materials in the enamel manufacturing process, does not agglomerate, and is easy to melt.
The ceramic industry is also an important application field of titanium dioxide. Ceramic grade titanium dioxide has high purity, uniform particle size, high refractive index, excellent high temperature resistance, and does not change ash at 1200°C for 1 hour. High opacity, thin coating, light weight, widely used in ceramics, construction, decoration and other materials.
