Products Information of Chemours Ti Pure R-900

Rutile titanium dioxide can provide maximum protection for extended outdoor service life. However, not all grades of TiO2 are created equal. For durable polyolefin applications, Ti-Pure™ R-900 has the perfect combination of weatherability, optics, and processibil ity to meet the most exacting requirements.

Chemours Ti Pure R-900 titanium dioxide has been specifically designed to achieve:

• Maximum weather resistance

• Bright, neutral whites

• Color formulation flexibility

• Superior processibil ity

Exceptional Durability

• UV energy is absorbed and dissipated by the fine sized particles. Innovative silica encapsulation technology is used to impart a chemically inert coating on  each TiO2  particle to prevent microcracks, chalking, or other degradation of the plastic.

• It improves the efficiency of UV stabilizers.

• High gloss retention — polyolefin parts look and perform like new, longer.

Pin-point Color

• With the unique combination of a neutral undertone, excellent opacity, and strong brightness, It is the easy solution for matching color tints or delivering bright, clean whites.

Low Volatility

• At elevated temperatures, general grades of titanium dioxide can “de-volatil ize,” creating downstream quality issues like holes or other imperfections, particularly in thin film applications. To compensate, most users end up slowing down their process.

• Resists “lacing” or “de-volatilization” and in the process, allows users to run faster.

Excellent Dispersibility

• Flows easily and disperses readily into a variety of resins, insuring consistently and reliably, high quality products.

• Its optimized surface chemistry enhances bulk flow and improves processing.

Chemours Ti Pure R-900_copy20260130171033 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Ti Pure R-900_copy20260130171033 in coatings and plastics formulations?

A: Ti Pure R-900_copy20260130171033 is a high-performance titanium dioxide pigment engineered to deliver exceptional brightness, opacity, and UV resistance. It is commonly used as a white pigment and functional additive to enhance hiding power, whiteness, and durability in architectural coatings, industrial finishes, and polymer systems.

Q2: How does this grade differ from standard rutile TiO₂ pigments?

A: This variant features a specialized surface treatment optimized for improved dispersion stability and reduced agglomeration in both water-based and solvent-based systems. Its particle size distribution and surface chemistry are tailored to support higher gloss retention and better rheological behavior in demanding applications such as premium acrylic emulsions and engineering thermoplastics.

Q3: Is Ti Pure R-900_copy20260130171033 suitable for use in food-contact or pharmaceutical applications?

A: No — this grade is not certified for direct food-contact or pharmaceutical use. It is intended for industrial and decorative applications where regulatory compliance aligns with general-purpose pigment standards. Customers requiring food-grade or pharmacopeial-grade TiO₂ should consult Chemours’ dedicated product portfolio and regulatory documentation.

Q4: What are recommended handling and storage conditions?

A: Store in a cool, dry location away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent contamination and clumping. Handle using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including dust masks and gloves, to minimize inhalation or skin contact during transfer and dispersion operations.
