Coating Applications

Architectural

In the areas of residential, commercial and industrial construction and remodel, you will find TiO₂ white pigment in architectural paint, where it provides the ability of paint manufacturers to offer the wide variety of colors that are available today. One of the most important features that TiO₂white pigment provides in architectural paint is coverage. The more TiO₂ that is in your paint, the better coverage you will get with that paint. For exterior paints, TiO₂ provides durability and protection to the painted surface from ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun.

OEM

Many components of your automobile, interior and exterior, contain TiO₂. Automotive paint has never been more durable, with so many color variations available. Titanium dioxide white pigment is a key component of this paint. In addition to Automotive applications, TiO₂is also used in coatings for Cans/Packaging, Coil, General/Metal, Plastics, and a wide variety of Powder coatings, especially those where durability is needed.

Special Purpose

Pleasure boats, cruise ships, shipping vessels, rail cars and airplanes – all of these modes of transportation utilize TiO₂ white pigment. Similar to its uses in the automotive industry, TiO₂ is used in various paint and coatings for these vehicles.
