TINOX® R-2280
Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Plastics
TINOX® R-2280 is a premium rutile titanium dioxide pigment
specially engineered for plastic applications. Featuring both
inorganic and highly hydrophobic organic post-treatments, R-2280
delivers exceptional opacity, a distinctive blue undertone, and
outstanding processing characteristics. Its unique formulation
ensures excellent dispersibility, low volatile content, and
superior heat resistance, making it ideal for demanding plastic
applications.
Key Features
- Excellent opacity and hiding power (Tinting Strength ≥2000)
- Strong blue undertone (SCX ≥4.4) for bright, clean coloration
- Superior dispersibility in plastic matrices
- Excellent hydrophobic properties for moisture resistance
- Outstanding heat resistance for high-temperature processing
- Extremely low volatile content (≤0.3% at 105°C)
- High rutile content (≥96.5%) for maximum durability
Recommended Applications
- High-Concentration Masterbatches: Ideal for TiO₂ masterbatches requiring high loading levels while
maintaining excellent dispersion
- Consumer Electronic Plastics: Provides the premium appearance required for electronics housings
and components
- Automotive Plastics: Excellent for interior and exterior automotive parts requiring
weatherability
- Packaging Materials: Food-grade compatible for rigid and flexible packaging
applications
- Engineering Plastics: Superior performance in technical plastic components
- Specific Polymer Systems:
- Polypropylene (PP) - Excellent dispersion in both homo- and
copolymers
- Polystyrene (PS) - Maintains clarity in transparent applications
- ABS - Provides bright white coloration with excellent impact
strength retention
- PVC - Both rigid and flexible formulations, including outdoor
applications
- Polyethylene (PE) - For film, blow molding, and injection molding
grades
