Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Paper

Compare current rutile titanium dioxide grades for decorative paper, fine paper, printed paper, and paperboard systems.

Quick Answer: M-320 is the dedicated chloride-process specialty paper grade for plain paper, grainy paper, printed decorative paper, decoration paper, Bible paper, dictionary paper, and paperboard. M-2377 is a sulfate-process multi-application alternative whose current TDS broadly lists paper. Validate whiteness, opacity, retention, UV stability, dispersion, and process compatibility in the target paper system.

How to Select a Grade

  • Define the paper type, furnish or coating color, pigment loading, and target whiteness and opacity.
  • Evaluate dispersion in the actual water chemistry, including alkaline water-system conditions where applicable.
  • Measure retention, sheet appearance, UV stability, and downstream print or converting performance.
  • Confirm the final grade through mill, coating, or application trials under production-relevant conditions.

Application FAQ

Which rutile titanium dioxide grade should I test for paper?

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.
