How to Choose Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Masterbatch

A current-TDS selection guide supporting the rutile titanium dioxide for masterbatch application page.

Quick Answer: Define the carrier resin, TiO2 concentration, let-down ratio, processing temperature, and final product before comparing grades. M-340 targets high-concentration masterbatch; M-210 targets polyolefin masterbatch; M-108 supports compounds and high-thermal-stability plastics. M-886, M-200, and M-510 extend the shortlist for polyolefin, exterior, and engineering-plastics applications.

Selection Workflow

  1. Step 1: Define carrier resin, TiO2 concentration, let-down ratio, and target opacity.
  2. Step 2: Identify whether the masterbatch feeds film, extrusion, injection, profiles, or exterior products.
  3. Step 3: Compare grade-specific treatment, oil absorption, moisture, tint strength, and other stated values.
  4. Step 4: Use actual processing temperature, shear, and downstream conditions in the trial.
  5. Step 5: Confirm dispersion, surface appearance, color, and final-part performance before substitution.
