Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂)
Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂).
Titanium Dioxide is a premium white pigment manufactured through either the sulfate or chloride process, delivering superior optical and processing properties. TiO₂ is the industry standard for whitening and opacifying applications, providing brilliant whiteness with excellent color stability. Available in rutile and anatase crystal structures, titanium dioxide offers outstanding performance across diverse applications from high-performance plastics to architectural coatings, with exceptional UV resistance and weatherability characteristics. Primary Applications: Plastic masterbatch, coating formulations, high-temperature extrusion, architectural paints, industrial coatings Secondary Applications: Flexible films, engineering plastics, automotive coatings, inks, leather finishing, rubber compounds, food-grade applications
