Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Masterbatch

Compare rutile titanium dioxide grades for high-concentration, polyolefin, engineering-plastics, film, compound, and durable exterior masterbatch.

Quick Answer: For masterbatch, match the grade to the carrier resin, pigment concentration, let-down ratio, processing temperature, and final product. M-340 targets high-concentration masterbatch and films; M-210 targets polyolefin masterbatch; M-108 supports masterbatch, compounds, and high-thermal-stability plastics. M-886, M-200, and M-510 extend the shortlist for polyolefin, exterior, and engineering-plastics applications.

How to Select a Grade

  • Define carrier resin, TiO2 loading, let-down ratio, and target opacity before comparing grades.
  • Review dispersion-related TDS properties without applying one threshold to every grade.
  • Use production-relevant temperature, shear, film, and surface-quality conditions in trials.
  • Confirm downstream compatibility before bulk purchasing.

Application FAQ

Which rutile titanium dioxide grade should I test for masterbatch?

Start with the grade table on this page, then narrow the choice using your formulation, benchmark, processing conditions, and target performance. Final suitability should be confirmed by application testing.

Does chloride or sulfate process alone determine the right grade?

No. Process is one selection factor. Surface treatment, end-use fit, technical properties, binder or polymer compatibility, and test results should be reviewed together.

How can I request the current TDS?

Use the grade-specific TDS links on this page. The selected technical data sheet is provided by email after request.
