Rutile Titanium Dioxide R299

R299 is a type of titanium dioxide specifically used for plastics, produced through the sulfuric acid method. Its surface is coated with silicon and aluminum and undergoes special organic treatment, resulting in excellent pigment properties. The product has finer particle size, good whiteness, a blue base tone, high color removal ability, strong covering power, low volatile content, easy dispersion in plastics and rubber, excellent dry powder flowability, and good processing rheological properties.

Using R299 can enhance the heat resistance and yellowing resistance of plastic products, improve their mechanical properties, prevent UV light penetration, and increase the plastic products' resistance to light, weathering, and powdering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What 3-step lab trial should I run to validate R299 in my plastic masterbatch?

Start with (1) a bench dispersion: prepare a 1 kg masterbatch at your target pigment loading and check for agglomerates and color uniformity; (2) processability test: run the masterbatch through your standard extrusion/injection cycle, note torque, die build-up and surface finish; (3) performance comparison: mould standard test panels and measure contrast ratio (hiding), yellowness index and weathering after accelerated QUV. Report any changes in rheology or gloss, then run a 10 kg pilot if results are acceptable.

My paint/plastic shows streaking after adding TiO₂ — what quick checks fix dispersion problems?

Check (a) pre-wetting: ensure pigment wetting with dispersant before high shear; (b) order of addition: add pigment to binder under slow agitation, then increase shear; (c) media and time: increase bead mill rpm or change bead size to break agglomerates; (d) defoaming and surfactant level: excess surfactant can cause foam and streaks. If streaks persist, run a grind gauge and particle size check (D50) to confirm deagglomeration.

Can I reduce TiO₂ loading by using R299 — how to estimate replacement or savings?

Yes — use relative tinting/hiding strength to estimate. Example method: measure contrast ratio or hiding power per gram for your current pigment (HP_old) and for R299 (HP_new). Required new loading ≈ Old loading × (HP_old / HP_new). Run a small validation batch to confirm color and rheology before full substitution. Note: optical effects (gloss, tint acceptance) may require fine-tuning of dispersants and PVC.
