Chemours Titanium Dioxide

Chemours Titanium Dioxide series comprises chloride-processed rutile pigments engineered for high-performance applications across coatings, plastics, and specialty industries. Leveraging advanced surface treatment technologies, these pigments deliver exceptional light-scattering efficiency, ensuring superior opacity and brightness while minimizing material usage.

Optimized for durability, the series features tailored inorganic and organic coatings that enhance UV stability, reduce photocatalytic activity, and improve compatibility with diverse matrices. Their controlled particle size distribution maximizes dispersion efficiency in both solvent- and water-based systems, enabling seamless integration into architectural paints, automotive coatings, and industrial finishes.

While specialized treatments minimize interactions with polymer additives, preserving melt-flow properties during high-temperature processing.

Chemours Titanium Dioxide – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are the primary grades of Chemours titanium dioxide and how do they differ?

A: Chemours offers a range of TiO₂ pigments—including R-900 series for high-performance coatings, R-960 for demanding plastics applications, and the ultrafine T-LITE® line for transparent or UV-absorbing systems. Differences lie in surface treatment chemistry, particle size distribution, and dispersion characteristics—each optimized for specific end-use requirements such as durability, gloss retention, or optical clarity.


Q2: How does surface treatment affect performance in polymer systems?

A: Surface treatments—typically combinations of alumina, silica, and organic modifiers—enhance compatibility with polymer matrices, improve dispersion stability during melt processing, and reduce photocatalytic activity. This helps maintain color consistency, mechanical integrity, and long-term weatherability in applications like PVC profiles, polyolefins, and engineering thermoplastics.


Q3: Is Chemours titanium dioxide suitable for food-contact plastics?

A: Certain Chemours TiO₂ grades are manufactured and qualified for use in food-contact plastics under applicable global regulatory frameworks, including FDA 21 CFR and EU Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004. Formulators should verify grade-specific compliance documentation and ensure final application conditions (e.g., temperature, contact time) align with intended use.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for titanium dioxide in industrial coatings?

A: Dosage depends on formulation goals—including opacity, tinting strength, and substrate coverage—but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight in high-solids architectural coatings, and may extend higher in specialty industrial finishes where maximum hiding power or whiteness is critical. Optimization requires balancing pigment loading with rheology, film formation, and cost-effectiveness.
