How to Choose TiO2 for Plastics
Choose titanium dioxide for plastics by defining the polymer and additive package, masterbatch or direct-addition route, conversion process, temperature profile, dispersion method, opacity and colour target, end-use exposure and controlled trial plan. Shortlist documented candidates, then confirm the exact product in the intended process.
Scope: This is general guidance; product-specific facts require an approved exact-grade source.

Plastics and masterbatch selection inputs
A useful plastics pigment request describes both the material and the conversion route. “TiO2 for plastic” can refer to different polymers, concentrate systems, loadings, equipment and final parts. The information below gives the supplier and processor a common basis for selecting samples and comparing results.
| Input | What to provide | Why it matters to the review |
|---|---|---|
| Material system | Polymer, resin grade, fillers, stabilisers, colourants and other relevant additives. | It defines the exact formulation context for the trial. |
| Use route | White masterbatch, direct addition, profile, moulded part or another stated end use. | It narrows the documented application direction and sample plan. |
| Processing window | Equipment, temperature profile, residence time, output and addition sequence. | It helps assess dispersion and processing observations under repeatable conditions. |
| Target result | Opacity, whiteness, undertone, dispersion, surface appearance and exposure needs as applicable. | It converts a general request into measurable acceptance criteria. |
| Baseline | Current grade, pigment or masterbatch loading, dilution ratio and reason for change. | It provides the named control needed for a meaningful comparison. |

Review CR-230How to compare plastics-grade candidates
- Choose a named current pigment or masterbatch as the baseline.
- Confirm the exact sample identity, batch and available document version.
- Keep polymer, additive package, loading, dilution and processing conditions constant.
- Prepare comparable plaques, parts or masterbatch let-downs using a recorded method.
- Assess only the optical, dispersion, processing and end-use outcomes required by the project.
- Repeat promising results on the intended production line before purchase approval.
TiO2 for plastics buyer questions
What information is needed to choose titanium dioxide for plastics?
Provide the polymer and additives, masterbatch or direct-addition route, process and temperature profile, current grade and loading, target result, end-use exposure and trial method.
Can one TiO2 grade be recommended for every polymer?
No. A product must be reviewed against the exact polymer, additive package, conversion process and end-use requirements, then confirmed through customer testing.
When should a plastics pigment move from laboratory to production testing?
Move to production confirmation only after the laboratory comparison uses a controlled baseline, recorded conditions and agreed acceptance criteria, and the result is repeatable.
