Product information

A white fine-milled powder with a rutile crystallographic structure, nontoxic, non-flammable and chemically inactive. Subjected to surface treatment with aluminium and silicon compounds and modified with hydrophilic organic compounds.

TYTANPOL® R-211 has very good optical properties (high brightening power and hiding power), is easily dispersible and highly resistant to weather conditions. As a result of so-called “dry hiding ” effect, it is very efficient in paints with a high pigment volume concentration.

Application

TYTANPOL® R-211 is recommended for semi-matt and matt products, where resistance to atmospheric conditions, colour retention and high resistance to chalking are required.

It is especially recommended for indoor and outdoor, both water and solvent borne (industrial, construction, decorative), air-drying enamels, high PVC paints, paints for cargo containers, silicate and silicone paints, matt flexographic printing inks and textile paints.

It can also be used effectively for pigmenting matt printing paints, poly vinyl chloride, plasters, cement products, sealants , adhesives, wallpapers, paper coatings and paper pulp.
