R216 rutile-type titanium dioxide is a general-purpose titanium dioxide pigment produced by the sulfuric acid method. It adopts advanced particle size control technology and coating technology.
The surface is coated with inorganic silicon and aluminum, and undergoes special organic treatment.
It has excellent optical properties and outstanding pigment performance. It has good whiteness, high gloss, high covering power, strong color-fixing ability, high weather resistance and anti-frosting ability, low oil absorption, good wetting property, and is easy to disperse in various systems.
R216 is a general-purpose, multi-purpose, rutile-type titanium white pigment. It is widely used in various indoor and outdoor coatings, interior and exterior latex paints, industrial coatings, powder coatings, road marking paints, anti-corrosion paints, anti-fouling paints, marine-specific paints, as well as in fields such as plastics, color mother liquors, rubber, inks, leather, paper making, decorative paper and laminated paper.
This product is safe and comes in a white powder form. During transportation, it should be protected from moisture. When storing, it should be placed in a cool, ventilated and dry place.
When handling, avoid inhaling dust. If contaminated, it can be cleaned with soap and water. For specific instructions, please refer to the corresponding material safety data sheet.

R216 is calibrated for a balance of hiding power and dispersibility. Compared with ultra-high-opacity grades it may offer better pigment-binder compatibility and easier milling while still delivering strong whiteness and weatherfastness.
Hydrophobic surface-treated R216 variants are typically recommended for non-polar thermoplastics (e.g., PE/PP). For polar polymers or waterborne systems, hydrophilic or silica-treated grades provide better dispersion stability.
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong acids. Keep containers sealed. Follow SDS for dust control and personal protective equipment.
Yes — R216’s rutile crystal structure combined with proper surface treatment offers improved durability and gloss retention in outdoor applications compared with many anatase grades.
