Rutile Titanium Dioxide 94% (Sulfate R-298)- Paints And Coatings

Rutile Titanium Dioxide R-298 – High-Performance Opacifying Pigment for Paints, Coatings, and Industrial Finishes

Rutile Titanium Dioxide R-298, manufactured via the advanced sulfate process, is engineered as a premier-grade white pigment specifically formulated to meet the rigorous demands of the global paints and coatings industry. Recognized for its exceptional opacity, outstanding durability, and excellent dispersibility, this pigment is fundamentally designed to enhance the protective qualities, aesthetics, and longevity of a comprehensive range of coating systems.

Primary Applications in Paints and Coatings

This specialized titanium dioxide grade is a critical component in the formulation of high-quality surface coatings:

• Architectural and Decorative Paints: It is extensively utilized in interior and exterior emulsion paints, primers, and wall finishes to deliver superior hiding power, brilliant whiteness, and excellent tint retention.

• Industrial and Protective Coatings: The pigment is effectively incorporated into heavy-duty industrial finishes, automotive coatings, marine paints, and coil coatings to provide enhanced corrosion resistance, UV stability, and long-term weatherability.

• Powder Coatings: It serves as a key ingredient in thermoset powder coatings for appliances, furniture, and architectural components, ensuring consistent color, gloss, and film integrity.

• Specialty Coatings and Inks: It is applied in high-performance industrial inks, can coatings, and wood finishes to achieve the required opacity, chemical resistance, and surface quality.

Key Product Characteristics and Performance Benefits

The R-298 grade delivers a combination of properties that are essential for formulating advanced coatings:

• Exceptional Opacity and Hiding Power: Provides outstanding coverage and whiteness, reducing the number of coats required and lowering overall material costs.

• Superior Dispersibility and Gloss Development: Its optimized surface treatment ensures easy and stable dispersion in both water-based and solvent-based systems, contributing to high gloss and smooth film formation.

• Excellent Weathering and Chalking Resistance: Enhances the durability of exterior coatings by effectively scattering UV radiation and minimizing polymer degradation and surface chalking.

• Good Chemical and Stain Resistance: Improves the coating’s ability to withstand environmental pollutants, cleaning agents, and moisture.

• Consistent Quality and Batch-to-Batch Uniformity: Guarantees reliable performance, color consistency, and ease of formulation in large-scale production.
