RCL188 TiO2 for Plastics
RCL188 TiO2 for Plastics
RCL188 TiO2 for Plastics is a blue-tone chloride-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment made for use in the most demanding masterbatch and compounding applications. The surface treatment has been optimized to give excellent dispersion combined with exceptionally high opacity, brightness, and tinting strength. It is particularly recommended for high temperature and dispersion-critical thin film applications.
Titanium Dioxide products provide optical and appearance attributes in a variety of applications such as in plastics. RCL188 TiO2 for Plastics can provide the properties required in applications where opacity and appearance are crucial.
