Titanium dioxide rutile grade chloride R-985+
Application Industries
1. Architectural Coatings Sector Performance
R-985+ is a high quality rutile titanium dioxide designed for use in architectural coatings. It provides superior coverage and durability, with a clean white color with a slight blue undertone that enhances the look of both interior and exterior surfaces. Its rapid dispersion and stable chemistry enable it to be directly incorporated into automated coating production lines ranging from material dosing to final packaging. The highly effective inorganic surface treatment provides R-985+ with excellent performance in a broad environment, allowing the product to be applied to residential, commercial and even institutional projects.
2. Industrial Coatings Sector Performance
R-985+ exhibits excellent opacity and gloss in protective and decorative industrial coatings such as equipment finishes, machinery coatings and maintenance systems. Manufactured through the chloride process with a specially designed surface treatment, it is a high performance product for both water and solvent-based systems. Due to its excellent dispersibility it also reduces processing time and energy, resulting in more efficient and sustainable manufacturing processes.
