Inter-China Chemical titanium materials company

About Inter-China Chemical

Founded in 2001, Inter-China Chemical (ICC) is a China-based supplier and technical partner specializing in titanium dioxide and titanium-based functional materials. Our portfolio covers pigment-grade TiO₂ for plastics, coatings, inks and paper; infrared-reflective TiO₂; high-purity titanium dioxide and metatitanic acid; lithium titanate materials; and titanium-based adsorbents for direct lithium extraction.

ICC combines commercial operations with dedicated R&D, pilot-scale development, testing and industrial manufacturing resources. Through Topfine New Materials, Inter-China Testing & Technology and Gangfeng New Materials, we support customers from material selection and laboratory qualification through pilot evaluation and commercial supply.

Our History

2001
Inter-China Chemical became an independent legal entity after developing from the chemical business division of Inter-China Group, with titanium dioxide as its core business.
2004-2006
Annual titanium dioxide exports reached 12,000 metric tons in 2004. In 2006, ICC established its titanium dioxide analysis and testing laboratory, strengthening internal quality control and application testing capabilities.
2007-2011
ICC established its ISO 9001 quality management system and expanded both domestic and international operations. By 2011, annual titanium dioxide sales had returned to more than 20,000 metric tons.
2012-2016
ICC began its transformation from a trading-oriented company into a technology-driven enterprise, investing in particle-size analysis, near-infrared reflective materials and laboratory accreditation. Inter-China Testing & Technology was established, received CMA accreditation, and IR-1000 entered commercial production. The company was renamed Inter-China Chemical Co., Ltd.
2017-2018
DR-2588 was successfully commercialized for high-performance plastic applications. Inter-China Testing & Technology obtained CNAS accreditation, ICC participated in the revision of the national standard for solar heat-reflective insulation coatings, and Gangfeng New Materials was established to support the industrialization of titanium-based functional materials.
2019-2020
ICC expanded its technology portfolio in near-infrared reflective pigments, lithium titanate and titanium-based lithium extraction materials. A technology cross-licensing agreement was reached with Venator, DR-2589 entered commercial production, and titanium-based lithium extraction materials were successfully manufactured by Gangfeng New Materials.
2021-2023
DR-2588 and DR-2589 received the Ringier Technology Innovation Award. ICC continued expanding its intellectual property, testing and product development capabilities, while DR-2688 was launched for polycarbonate and selected engineering-plastic applications.
2024-Present
ICC obtained product carbon-footprint certification, received an EcoVadis Silver Medal and completed ISO 9001 recertification. Its titanium-based lithium extraction adsorbent was recognized as an innovative technology product in Jiangsu Province. By 2026, ICC and its subsidiaries had received 26 invention patent grants and 18 utility model patent grants.
