Titanium dioxide is one of the most applied pigments in the field of processing plastics because even a low dosage ensures not only the required white shade but also brings a sufficient protection against destructive effects of UV irradiation at the same time.
Different particle size and combination of organic and inorganic surface treatment bring wide possibilities for very different application usage.
Anatase titanium dioxide grades are suitable for undermanding applications. Special anatase grades are used for fibres (PET) delustering.
On the contrary, rutile grades, particularly those with medium inorganic surface treatment, are used where excellent lightfastness and weather stability are required.
We have used results from regular quality judgements with foreign titanium dioxide for graphical comparison of chosen parameters of titanium dioxide PRETIOX with top products. Competitives 1 are titanium dioxide grades manufactured by chloride technology, Competitives 2 are usually applied mostly for their economic advantages.
