Ti-Pure™ R-902+ titanium dioxide is the easy choice

Improved Hiding Power

• Better coating coverage
• Minimum TiO2 use in coatings formulas Ti-Pure™ R-902+ provides exceptional hiding power and tint strength in a wide variety of coating formulations. As shown in Figure 2, our extensive testing has shown that Ti-Pure™ R-902+ consistently outperforms multi-purpose grades from global competitors. The exceptional dispersion and unique particle size distribution of Ti Pure™ R-902+ is the key to excellent optical performance. Using Ti-Pure™ R-902+ will provide excellent coating coverage and may allow coating producers to reduce your coating raw material costs by reducing the amount of TiO2 in the paint.

Superior Dispersion

• Lower energy consumption
• Higher productivity from shorter dispersion times
• Improved product quality consistency from more
consistent dispersion

Ti-Pure™ R-902+ also provides

• Superior tinting strength
• Excellent whiteness and brightness

Figure 3 demonstrates the alkyd ease of dispersion advantage of Ti-Pure™ R-902+ relative to competitive grades. It also highlights the opportunity for productivity improvements and energy savings from using Ti-Pure™ R-902+

As alkyd dispersion time and intensity are increased the dispersion condition is evaluated using a special hegman gauge. Dispersion condition is analyzed using the Chemours™ Dispersion Optical Counter (DOC) which takes a digital image of the drawdown and uses proprietary protocol to measure the number of undispersed particles.

The results show wide variation in how different TiO2 grades disperse following the various grind conditions. While most pigments require the highest grind intensity (5 minutes at 12 m/s) to achieve a clean dispersion (<10 undispered particles), Ti-Pure™ R-902+ achieves a clean dispersion with much less time and energy.
