TINOX TPW-818 Hybrid Pigment White: High Performance for Plastic Applications
Introduction
TINOX TPW-818 is a high-performance hybrid pigment white, specifically developed for plastic applications. This innovative product combines rutile-type TiO₂ with ultra-fine, functional extenders to enhance the scattering cross-section of TiO₂ particles. This unique process increases pigment efficiency and reduces TiO₂ consumption without compromising performance.
Key Features
- Superior Optical Properties: TINOX TPW-818 offers excellent whiteness with a blue undertone, maintaining high opacity, brightness, and gloss compared to pure TiO₂ pigments.
- Excellent Dispersibility and Processibility: The pigment particles are efficiently distributed within the matrix, ensuring enhanced powder flowability and facilitating the feeding process.
- Cost Savings: Increased efficiency through reduced TiO₂-pigment content leads to significant cost savings without sacrificing performance.
- Sustainability: TINOX TPW-818 is designed with environmental responsibility in mind. Lower CO₂ emissions per unit compared to pure TiO₂ help customers reduce their carbon footprint.
Applications
TINOX TPW-818 is ideal for a wide range of plastic applications, including:
- Masterbatches
- Rigid and flexible PVC
- Plastic compounds
- Plastisols
- Powder coatings
