M-996 Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Coatings
Key Applications
- Industrial coatings
- Powder coatings
- Exterior architectural coatings
- Interior architectural coatings
Procurement Reference
Recommended For
- Industrial coatings (current M-996 TDS)
- Powder coatings (current M-996 TDS)
- Exterior architectural coatings (current M-996 TDS)
- Interior architectural coatings (current M-996 TDS)
Not Recommended For
- Low-viscosity water-based latex systems where chloride-process M-510 dispersion rheology is preferred (M-996 is sulfate-process; for water-based specialty see M-510).
- Plastics and masterbatch where M-340 chloride-process dispersion is preferred (M-996 is designed for coatings, not plastics — for plastics see M-340).
Equivalent / Comparable Grade Direction
M-996 is a sulfate-process durable coatings grade; buyers evaluating M-996 can cross-check M-350 (chloride-process flagship) for chloride-process alternatives or M-896 (chloride-process industrial) for chloride-process industrial / weather-resistant. See /applications/titanium-dioxide-for-coatings/ and the head-to-head at /applications/m-510-vs-m-996/.
