Tiwest is the only business in the world that mines, separates, refines and manufactures titanium dioxide products in one region. Tiwest has a major impact on the Western Australian economy with more than 700 full time and contract jobs, export earnings of $400M (in 2004) and regular incomes for an estimated 500 businesses. The current wet pigment particle coating process, to ensure ease of handling and longevity, is a major cost. An optimised pigment dry-coating process would ensure Tiwest's competitiveness through reduced processing costs and improved performance. This development has the potential to increase Tiwest's profitability by 10%.

Tiwest是世界上唯一一家在一个地区开采、分离、精炼和制造钛白粉产品的企业。Tiwest对西澳大利亚州的经济产生了重大影响，有700多个全职和合同工作岗位，出口收入为4亿澳元（2004年），估计有500家企业有固定收入。目前的湿颜料颗粒涂覆工艺，以确保易于处理和寿命，是一个主要的成本。优化的颜料干涂工艺将通过降低加工成本和提高性能来确保Tiwest的竞争力。这一发展有可能使Tiwest的盈利能力提高10%。
