Application

Characterized by a combination of outstanding dispersion and optical parameters. It mixes readily using standard equipment and technology. It is recommended for both decorative paints and common industrial coating materials which require stable optical parameters and excellent resistance to climatic conditions, i.e. for the dispersion of water-soluble paints, emulsions, air drying synthetic enamel paints, heat curing, two-compound, and acid curing systems. This titanium dioxide is suitable also for those more demanding plastics manufacturing applications, and for products for interior or exterior use, e.g. injection molding, rolling, casting, the production of plates and hollow objects, polyolefin products, PVC, etc. In the paper industry, it is used mainly for surface coatings for paper,or for barrier papers. In the building industry used for pigmentation of concrete architectural and concrete brut elements as well as for transparent bitumen coloring.
