    It is an alumina/zirconium modified rutile, multipurpose TiO2 pigment produced by sulfate process. Precise process control, good particle size and narrow size distribution offer it good whiteness, easy dispersion, low oil absorption (OA), and high tinting strength.

    THR-218 Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is a rutile-grade white pigment powder designed to deliver strong optical performance in a wide range of formulations. Thanks to its high refractive index, rutile TiO₂ typically provides excellent hiding power (opacity) and high tinting strength, helping finished products achieve higher whiteness, brightness, and gloss with a clean, neutral-to-slightly bluish undertone.

    To improve application performance, this type of rutile pigment is commonly engineered with inorganic surface coatings (e.g., silica and/or alumina) and may also receive organic surface treatment. These treatments are intended to enhance wetting and dispersion, reduce oil absorption, and stabilize rheology, which can translate into faster dispersion, more consistent viscosity control, smoother film appearance, and reduced haze in coatings or plastics. Rutile grades are also known for comparatively strong weatherability, heat resistance, and chemical resistance, supporting durability and helping reduce issues such as chalking, discoloration, or yellowing in demanding outdoor or high-temperature applications.

    THR-218 can be used in architectural and industrial coatings, powder coatings, coil coatings, wood finishes, printing inks, and plastic masterbatches/compounds (including PVC, PP, PE, ABS, etc.). It is also applicable in papermaking, adhesives, and rubber products where reliable opacity and color strength are required. For best results, pre-wet the pigment with the binder/solvent system, select a compatible dispersant, and use high-speed dispersion or milling to reach the target fineness and maximize opacity and color consistency. Store in a cool, dry place, keep containers tightly sealed, and protect from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight to minimize caking and contamination.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    What makes THR-218 a multipurpose pigment?
    THR-218 is engineered with a zirconium and alumina inorganic surface treatment combined with organic treatment. This balanced modification allows it to perform exceptionally well across various industries including coatings, plastics, and inks.
    How does THR-218 improve the appearance of finished products?
    Due to its high refractive index and narrow particle size distribution, it provides excellent whiteness, high gloss, and a clean neutral-to-bluish undertone, ensuring superior opacity and brightness.
    Is THR-218 easy to disperse in different systems?
    Yes, the organic surface treatment is specifically designed to enhance wetting and dispersion. This results in faster processing times and more consistent viscosity in both solvent-borne and water-borne systems.
    What are the recommended storage conditions?
    It should be stored in a cool, dry, and ventilated area. Keep containers tightly sealed and protected from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight to prevent caking or contamination.
    Can THR-218 be used for outdoor applications?
    Yes, as a rutile-grade TiO2 with Zr/Al treatment, it offers good weatherability and durability, helping to resist chalking and discoloration in outdoor environments.
    What is the TiO2 content of THR-218?
    THR-218 maintains a high TiO2 content of at least 94%, ensuring strong tinting strength and reliable optical performance.
