Paint and coating formulation

Titanium Dioxide for Coatings

Titanium dioxide for coatings is selected by coating type, resin system, pigment volume concentration (PVC), dispersion process, gloss, hiding target and exposure. For buyers searching for titanium dioxide for paint or a TiO2 coating grade, the best starting product depends on whether the system is interior, high-PVC, industrial or weather-resistant.

Information That Changes the Recommendation

Share waterborne or solvent-borne system, interior or exterior use, resin, PVC, gloss level, dispersion equipment, current grade, weatherability target and destination.

Before Final Approval

Compare the current exact-grade documents, then confirm hiding, dispersion, viscosity, gloss and durability in your formulation. Customer formulation and production-line testing are required before final grade approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which titanium dioxide grade is suitable for coatings?

The answer depends on resin, PVC, gloss, dispersion, hiding and exposure. Interior, high-PVC, industrial and exterior systems therefore start from different product paths shown on this page.

What is the difference between TITAN MIX C75 and C78?

TITAN MIX C75 is positioned for interior and cost-controlled coating systems. TITAN MIX C78 is positioned for exterior and engineering coating systems where improved weatherability is required.

Which products should I evaluate for high-PVC or durable coatings?

CITIC CR-503-2 is documented for high-PVC architectural coatings. For weather-resistant coating directions, the published candidates include TITAN MIX C78 and CITIC CR-506. Confirm the exact system and test results before approval.

What should I send with a coatings-grade inquiry?

Send coating type, resin, waterborne or solvent-borne system, PVC, gloss, exposure, current grade, target performance, quantity, destination and required documents.
