Rutile Titanium Dioxide Masterbatch Grade Comparison

A current-TDS comparison for technical buyers evaluating multiple grades for the same procurement project.

Quick Answer: The six current grades serve different masterbatch and downstream needs. M-340 targets high concentration and films; M-210 targets polyolefin masterbatch; M-108 supports compounds and high-thermal-stability plastics; M-886 supports polyolefin masterbatch; M-200 supports durable exterior plastic masterbatch; M-510 covers engineering plastics, masterbatch, and profiles. Similar application labels do not make the grades interchangeable.

Selection Workflow

  1. Step 1: Use the table to identify the grades whose TDS applications match the target product.
  2. Step 2: Compare process and surface treatment without treating either as a standalone quality score.
  3. Step 3: Compare only the technical values that are stated in each current TDS.
  4. Step 4: Test carrier compatibility, loading, dispersion, processing stability, and final appearance.

Buyer FAQ

Does this masterbatch grade comparison guide identify one universal best grade?

No. It uses current TDS applications and properties to build a shortlist. The final choice depends on the buyer’s formulation, benchmark, processing conditions, and test results.

What should I do when a process or technical property is not stated?

Treat it as not stated. Do not infer a process, value, approval, or performance claim from another grade or from a general product family.

How can I request the current technical data sheet?

Use the grade-specific TDS links in the comparison table. The selected current document is provided by email after request.
