Ti-Pure™ R-900 Titanium Dioxide

Ti-Pure R-900 is a rutile titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment manufactured by the chloride process by Chemours. It's a versatile and high-performance product widely used in various industries for creating white or light-colored coatings.

Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is a naturally occurring mineral known for its bright white color and unique chemical properties. It exists in several crystal forms, but rutile is the most common type used in pigments.

Chemours offers a range of Ti-Pure titanium dioxide products, each formulated for specific applications. Here's how R-900 stacks up:

• General Purpose: Ti-Pure R-900 is a general-purpose rutile TiO₂ pigment, making it suitable for a wide range of applications compared to more specialized products.
• Chloride Process: Manufactured via the chloride process, R-900 offers a balance of performance and cost-effectiveness compared to some Ti-Pure products made using the sulfate process, which might have superior properties but come at a higher price point.
• Simplified Surface Design: R-900 features a simplified surface treatment, making it compatible with a broad range of coating systems compared to some Ti-Pure products designed for very specific interactions with other components.

Key Benefits of Ti-Pure R-900:

• Excellent Opacity and Brightness: R-900 delivers outstanding hiding power, effectively masking underlying surfaces and achieving a bright white color in the final product.
• Superior Dispersion: The fine particle size and specific surface treatment of R-900 enhance its ability to disperse evenly throughout a coating, leading to a smooth and consistent finish.
• Gloss Retention: R-900 helps maintain the desired gloss level in coatings over time.
• Durability: This rutile TiO₂ pigment offers good resistance to heat, weathering, and chemicals, ensuring the white color and other properties remain stable.
• Corrosion Resistance: R-900 provides corrosion resistance benefits in specific applications like metal coatings.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to some high-performance Ti-Pure products, R-900 offers a balance between performance and cost.

Ti-Pure R-900's versatility makes it a valuable product across various industries:

• Interior and Exterior Architectural Coatings: R-900 is a common choice for high-quality paints used on walls, ceilings, and other interior and exterior surfaces.
• Powder Coatings: This pigment is used in powder coatings for appliances, furniture, and other applications.
• Coil Coatings: R-900 helps create durable white or light-colored finishes for metal coils used in roofing, building materials, and appliances.
• Industrial Coatings: It finds use in industrial coatings for machinery, equipment, and other industrial applications.
• Plastics: R-900 can be incorporated into plastics to achieve desired opacity and whiteness.
• Electrodeposition Applications: The properties of R-900 make it suitable for electrodeposition coatings, a specialized technique for applying paint using an electric current.
