High-Performance Rutile Titanium Dioxide R-248 – Premier Opacifying Pigment for the Plastic and Polymer Industry

Rutile Titanium Dioxide R-248, manufactured via the advanced sulfate process, is engineered as a superior-grade white pigment specifically formulated to meet the demanding requirements of the plastics and polymer processing sector. Recognized for its exceptional opacity, brilliant whiteness, and excellent dispersibility, this pigment is fundamentally designed to enhance the visual and performance characteristics of a wide range of polymeric materials.


Primary Applications in the Plastics Industry

This specialized titanium dioxide grade is predominantly utilized to achieve high-quality coloration and opacity in various plastic applications:

  • Rigid and Flexible PVC Products: It is extensively employed in the production of PVC profiles, pipes, fittings, flooring, and vinyl siding to provide long-lasting whiteness, UV resistance, and weathering stability.

  • Polyolefin Compounds: The pigment is effectively incorporated into polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) applications, including crates, containers, household goods, and automotive components, to ensure consistent color and opacity.

  • Engineering Plastics: It is used in ABS, PS, and other engineering resins for consumer electronics, appliances, and technical parts where surface quality and color stability are critical.

  • Masterbatch Production: R-248 serves as a key raw material in the manufacturing of high-loading white and color masterbatches, offering excellent processability and consistent let-down performance.

  • Films and Sheets: It is applied in plastic films, sheets, and packaging materials to achieve the required opacity and brightness.


Key Product Characteristics and Advantages

The R-248 grade delivers a combination of properties that are essential for high-quality plastic manufacturing:

  • Exceptional Opacity and Whiteness: Provides outstanding hiding power and a bright, neutral white base for both pure white and tinted applications.

  • Superior Dispersibility: Its optimized surface treatment ensures easy and uniform dispersion in polymer matrices, reducing processing time and energy consumption while minimizing equipment wear.

  • Excellent Weathering and UV Resistance: Enhances the durability of outdoor plastic products by effectively scattering UV light and mitigating polymer degradation.

  • High Thermal Stability: Maintains its color and properties under the high-temperature conditions typical of plastics processing, such as injection molding and extrusion.

  • Consistent Quality and Batch Uniformity: Guarantees reliable performance and color matching in continuous production runs.
