HITOX TiO2 - High-grade Titanium Dioxide

HITOX® TiO2 (High grade Titanium Dioxide) is a high quality and cost-effective Rutile TiO2 pigment produced by TOR Minerals and distributed exclusively in Southern Africa by Delta Colours.

Unique 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.
