White and printing ink systems

Titanium Dioxide for Ink

Titanium dioxide for ink is selected by resin and solvent system, printing process, substrate, dispersion method, viscosity window, opacity and durability. A printing ink buyer should first separate solvent-based white and underprint-white requirements from water-based ink requirements, then evaluate the corresponding documented product paths.

Information That Changes the Recommendation

Share water-based or solvent-based chemistry, resin, printing method, substrate, grinding equipment, target opacity, viscosity range, current pigment and outdoor-durability requirement.

Before Final Approval

Check grind, viscosity, storage stability, printability, opacity, gloss and adhesion in the intended ink system. Customer formulation and production-line testing are required before final grade approval.

Ink Evaluation Checklist

Ink direction	What to define	Where to start
Solvent-based white or underprint white	Resin, solvent, process, substrate, viscosity and opacity	TITAN MIX INK80; CITIC CR-523
Water-based printing ink	Resin chemistry, pH, grind, viscosity, substrate and durability	CITIC CR-503; CITIC CR-523
Additional TITAN ink-grade review	Required process, technical parameters and trial plan	TITAN M-503A; TITAN M-52T

Review the TiO2 product-selection process and prepare a controlled sample evaluation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose titanium dioxide for printing ink?

Define the resin and solvent system, printing process, substrate, grind, viscosity window, opacity and durability. Start from a product direction documented for that ink chemistry, then run a formulation trial.

Which product is positioned for solvent-based white ink?

TITAN MIX INK80 is positioned for solvent-based white ink and underprint-white evaluation. CITIC CR-523 is documented for both solvent-based and water-based inks.

Which product is documented for water-based ink?

CITIC CR-503 lists water-based inks in its product record, while CITIC CR-523 is positioned for both solvent-based and water-based inks.

What should I send with an ink-grade inquiry?

Send ink chemistry, resin, solvent or water-based system, printing method, substrate, dispersion equipment, viscosity and opacity targets, current grade, quantity, destination and required documents.
