TINOX R-2290 Rutile Titanium Dioxide for Plastic Applications
TINOX R-2290 is a premium rutile titanium dioxide pigment specifically engineered for plastic applications requiring exceptional weatherability and long-term performance. Its unique combination of properties, particularly the silicon-based post-treatment, makes it ideal for demanding outdoor applications.
R-2290 exhibits a vibrant blue undertone that enhances the visual appeal of plastic products while maintaining excellent color consistency. This blue base provides superior color balance in various plastic applications.
The pigment delivers outstanding opacity with minimal pigment loading, ensuring cost-effective coloration while maintaining excellent visual performance. This is particularly valuable in applications requiring solid color coverage.
The silicon-based post-treatment provides exceptional resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and environmental degradation. This makes R-2290 ideal for long-term outdoor applications where color retention is critical.
- Silicon-Based Post-Treatment (Si): Enhances weatherability and UV resistance, improves surface protection and durability, provides superior long-term color retention
- Inorganic Post-Treatment: Enhances heat resistance and overall stability
- Hydrophobic Organic Treatment: Provides excellent moisture resistance and processing stability
- Superior Dispersibility: Ensures easy incorporation into plastic matrices
- Low Volatility: Maintains consistent performance at high processing temperatures
- High Temperature Resistance: Suitable for demanding processing conditions
- High Concentration Masterbatch (especially for outdoor applications)
- Consumer Electronic Plastics (where long-term appearance is important)
- Polypropylene (PP) products for outdoor use
- Polystyrene (PS) applications requiring weather resistance
- ABS plastics for outdoor consumer goods
- PVC products with weatherability requirements
- Window Profiles: Particularly for PVC window frames and other building components exposed to weather, where the silicon-based treatment provides superior long-term protection against UV degradation and color fading
- Other outdoor plastic applications requiring exceptional weather resistance
