Product Overview
Titanium Dioxide R996 is a premium rutile-grade TiO₂ manufactured through the sulfate process with a controlled surface treatment of alumina (Al₂O₃) and zirconia (ZrO₂). The inorganic coating enhances dispersibility in both waterborne and solvent-based systems, resulting in outstanding hiding power, long-term gloss retention, and exceptional resistance to chalking and UV degradation. R996 meets the performance benchmarks required for international architectural coatings and competitive-grade industrial applications.
