Technical
A Color Pigment • Neutral buff color or gray • Chalk resistant, meeting ASTM D476-84 Type II and Type III • Chemically 95% TiO2 but behaves like a color pigment An Opacifier • High refractive index, good opacifier • Uniform particle size offers consistent tint strength
HITOX TiO2 – High-grade Titanium Dioxide
Stable and Safe • Good resistance to acids, alkalis, solvents and chemicals • Does not react with media, resins, or other pigments • Compatible with all resin systems HITOX® TiO2 (High grade Titanium Dioxide) is a high quality and cost-effective Rutile TiO2 • Non toxic • Heavy metal pigment produced by TOR Minerals andfree distributed exclusively in Southern Africa by Delta Colours.
U
nique beige and grey coloured TiO2 pigments can be used for preparing a wide range of non-white colours helping to reduce formulation costs for paints, coatings and plastics. In products which require opacity and colour, HITOX® can reduce the amount of expensive organic and inorganic pigments as well as white TiO2. It is offered in a three different particle sizes from STD (standard) 1.5 microns for medium to low gloss requirements to ULX = 0.8 microns and SF= 0.45 microns for maximum gloss and opacity. HITOX® is used in a broad range of paint and coatings and plastics applications including architectural, coil backers, powder, container, wood, traffic, paper, primers, adhesive and sealants, roof coatings and PVC. HITOX® Gray is well suited for use in gray primers, powder coating, decorative and industrial paints. In addition to cost savings, it can eliminate or reduce the use of black pigments, which are typically difficult to incorporate due to flotation problems. c
