- Key Features
- Excellent Gloss Retention
- Gloss is an important feature in many super durable coatings applications, and retention of gloss over the life of a product is of high importance to consumers. Gloss retention is controlled by many factors, including resin chemistry and the inherent durability of the TiO2 pigment employed in the coatings.
- Exceptional Durability via Silica Shell Technology
- Ti-Pure™ Select TS-6200 couples an advanced silica coating technology with a proprietary surface treatment to give maximum resistance to photocatalytic degradation. This new technology represents a significant improvement over the traditional method of silica encapsulation found on most super durable TiO2 pigments.
- Superior Chalk Resistance
- Chalking and color fade are two common reasons for consumer dissatisfaction with durable coatings. Both are caused by the degradation of organic binder from the film surface, which leaves loosely attached TiO2 particles on the coatings surface. This not only results in a “chalky” appearance to the coating, it also gives color fade because the exposed TiO2 particles scatter light away from the film before it can interact with the colored pigments.
- Superior Dispersibility
- The unique surface chemistry of Ti-Pure™ Select TS-6200 is tailor-made for easy dispersion - dispersion so easy that in some cases laborious, multi-step grinds can be reduced to a single, fast grind. Rapid dispersion results in greater rate, not only because dispersion times are decreased, but also because TiO2 levels in the dispersion can be increased.
- Low Dispersant Demand
- The improved dispersibility of Ti-Pure™ Select TS-6200 is also evident in its remarkably low dispersant demand. Ti-Pure™ Select TS-6200 needs as little as one fourth the dispersant load of other super durable pigments. Lower dispersant requirements can lead to significant cost savings, and by removing dispersant from the paint, the coatings manufacturer has the formulating flexibility to replace dispersant with other key ingredients.
