KRONOS 2190

Ti-Pure™ R-706 Titanium Dioxide is a universal rutile titanium dioxide pigment manufactured by the chloride process, designed to deliver high gloss and excellent durability in various coatings. It is used extensively in architectural, industrial, and automotive applications, both in solvent and waterborne systems.

Key Features and Benefits:

1. High Gloss:
   • Controlled TiO2 particle size results in exceptional gloss performance.
   • Tight particle size distribution minimizes oversized particles that can detract from gloss.
2. Super Durability:
   • Encapsulation with silica (SiO2) coating enhances durability.
   • Excellent gloss retention and chalk resistance as evidenced by Florida exposure data.
3. Excellent Dispersibility:
   • Alumina (Al2O3) surface treatment reduces TiO2 particle contact, facilitating excellent dispersion in solventborne systems.
   • An organic treatment further enhances dispersion.
4. Easy Wet-in:
   • Low oil absorption properties due to novel silica and alumina precipitation processes.
   • Easier wet-in requires less power, potentially improving productivity and capacity.
5. Good Hiding:
   • High TiO2 content (93%) due to low surface treatment levels (3% amorphous silica and 2.5% alumina).
   • Optimal particle size for scattering efficiency.
6. Blue Undertone:
   • Smaller particle size scatters blue light more effectively, resulting in a bluer undertone for brighter, cleaner tints.

Physical Properties:

• TiO2 Content: Minimum 93%
• Alumina Content: 2.5%
• Amorphous Silica Content: 3.0%
• Specific Gravity: 4.0

Shipping and Storage:

• Available in 25-kg paper bags, semi-bulk containers (1/2 and 1 metric ton), truckload, and less-than-truckload volumes.
• Water slurries are available in some regions for truckload (15 metric ton) and railcar (67 metric ton) shipments.
• Indefinite shelf life if protected from moisture.
