Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Plastics
Compare rutile titanium dioxide grades for engineering plastics, polyolefins, films, extrusion, injection molding, PVC, and durable exterior products.
Quick Answer: Plastics-grade selection depends on polymer type, processing temperature, pigment loading, dispersion, film requirements, and outdoor durability. M-340, M-210, M-108, M-886, and M-200 cover distinct masterbatch, film, engineering-plastics, and exterior-PVC needs. M-2377, M-510, and M-350 support additional plastics applications stated in their current TDS.

How to Select a Grade
- Start with polymer type, carrier resin, processing route, and target pigment loading.
- Compare dispersion, moisture, oil absorption, and thermal-processing requirements by grade.
- For films and exterior plastics, include visual defects and durability in the trial protocol.
- Validate the shortlist at the actual extrusion, molding, or let-down conditions.

Application FAQ
Which rutile titanium dioxide grade should I test for plastics?
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.
