Engineered white pigment with industry-leading scattering, thermal stability and low photocatalytic activity — ideal for high-performance paints, plastics and coatings.
Rutile titanium dioxide is the commercially preferred crystalline form for most pigment applications because it combines a very high refractive index, strong light scattering (hiding power) and improved UV stability compared with anatase-type TiO₂. These properties translate into brighter whites, fewer fading issues and better durability in outdoor applications.
Our RT-XX grade is surface-treated to improve dispersion in organic systems and to reduce photocatalytic side reactions that can accelerate binder degradation. Recommended for solvent-borne and water-borne coatings, engineering plastics, paper coatings and sunscreens where long-term color stability is critical.
Typical uses: architectural and industrial paints, powder coatings, injection-molded engineering plastics, PVC, print inks, paper coatings and cosmetics (UV filters). For highest hiding power, control rutile particle size distribution and use wetting/dispersing aids to avoid agglomeration. When formulating for outdoor durability, pair rutile TiO₂ with robust binders and appropriate UV absorbers.
Yes — rutile grades generally offer superior hiding and UV stability for exterior coatings, and are therefore the common choice for long-life paint systems.
Uncoated TiO₂ can catalyze photo-oxidation; modern surface treatments (alumina, silica, etc.) minimize this and preserve polymer integrity during service.
Match particle size and surface treatment to your resin and processing temperature. Ask for thermal-stable grades for high-temperature extrusion or injection molding.
