Why use TiO₂?

Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) is the most important and widely used white pigment in the coatings industry. DuPont™ TiO2 efficiently scatters visible light, thereby imparting whiteness, brightness and opacity.

DuPont™ TiO2 is used to opacify paint films by diffusely reflecting light. White pigment scatters or bends light strongly and causes this reflection. All visible light will strike the white pigment and be reflected, thus the film will appear opaque, white and bright. DuPont™ TiO2 maximizes hiding power, improves tint strength, increases durability, and ensures batch-to-batch uniformity.

DuPont has the technology you need, ranking first among titanium dioxide manufacturers in production capacity, product quality and technical assistance.

2 crystal structures exist: anatase and rutile. However, Rutile TiO2 pigments scatter light more efficiently, are more stable and are more durable than anatase pigments.
