Velta Holding US Inc, a titanium feedstock company operating in the USA and Ukraine, has received a third patent from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its Velta Ti Process technology.

This new patent underlines Velta’s ability to produce high-quality titanium dioxide (TiO₂) – a key intermediate used in furthering the production of titanium powder using the Velta Ti Process, along with marketable titanium-, iron-, calcium-, and nitrogen-based by-products.

“We’ve received three US patents – all during the full-scale war,” said Andriy Brodsky, president of Velta Holding. “Our group has remained committed to our strategy of vertical integration through innovation, including Additive Manufacturing and 3D printing. I believe Ukraine has strong scientific potential, and these patents from the USPTO make me feel confident.”

Since 2017, Ukrainian chemists and metallurgists at the Velta RD Titan R&D centre have been working to develop, improve, and patent a method for producing titanium metal powders and alloys via its Velta Ti Process. Velta Holding has invested over $7 million in this research.

Compared to conventional multi-stage production methods, the Ukrainian technology is said to be less energy-intensive, have a significantly reduced carbon footprint, and offer superior economic efficiency. The new method is also referred to as zero-waste, enabling the production of by-products used in coatings, polymers, paper, pigment, and metallurgy industries.

Since 2020, Velta Holding US has secured three US and three Ukrainian patents:

Velta Holding plans to scale up from semi-industrial powder production at its R&D facility to a fully operational plant that will produce titanium powders and finished products based on its technology.
