JTR-778
Rutile Titanium Dioxide: Premium Pigment for Superior Performance in Coatings, Paper, and Road Markings This high-performance rutile
titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is manufactured using a sulfuric acid process, ensuring exceptional purity and consistency. Engineered with an advanced slightly organic surface treatment, JTR-778 delivers outstanding whiteness, enhanced dispersion, and remarkable durability—making it ideal for demanding industrial applications worldwide. Designed for professionals in the paint, powder coating, paper, and road marking sectors, this pigment offers long-term color stability and resistance to environmental stressors such as UV exposure, moisture, and chemical degradation. Key Features - Exceptional whiteness and brightness for vivid, clean finishes - High hiding power and tinting strength for efficient coverage - Excellent dispersion properties for smooth, uniform mixing in formulations - Enhanced gloss retention to maintain visual appeal over time - Strong weathering resistance for outdoor longevity - Low oil absorption for improved compatibility with resins and binders In-depth Description JTR-778 stands out in the global market due to its carefully optimized particle morphology and surface chemistry. Unlike standard grades, this rutile TiO₂ undergoes a proprietary modification process that enhances its interaction with polymer matrices and aqueous systems. As a result, it provides superior opacity and color intensity while minimizing the need for excessive loading—reducing formulation costs without compromising performance. Its fine particle size distribution ensures minimal settling in liquid systems and excellent flow characteristics in both solvent-based and waterborne coatings. Whether used in architectural paints, automotive finishes, or industrial powder coatings, JTR-778 maintains consistent performance across varying temperatures and humidity levels. Additionally, its low leaching tendency makes it suitable for environmentally conscious applications where regulatory compliance is critical. Ideal Applications This versatile pigment excels in multiple industries beyond traditional uses. In paper manufacturing, it improves brightness and printability while reducing filler content. For road marking paints, its high refractive index ensures maximum visibility under all lighting conditions—critical for safety and regulatory standards. In powder coatings, it contributes to a glossy, durable finish that withstands abrasion and fading. It also serves well in plastic compounding, ceramic glazes, and even some food-grade applications where non-toxicity and inertness are required. With growing demand for sustainable materials, JTR-778 supports eco-friendly formulations by enabling lower VOC emissions and longer service life of finished products. Customer Feedback Users across Europe, North America, and Asia have praised JTR-778 for its reliability in high-volume production environments. One European paint manufacturer noted a 15% reduction in raw material usage while achieving better coverage compared to previous suppliers. A road construction firm reported improved night-time reflectivity and reduced maintenance cycles after switching to this rutile grade. Independent lab tests confirm its resistance to chalking, yellowing, and cracking—even after extended exposure to simulated sunlight and salt spray. Frequently Asked Questions What makes JTR-778 different from other
rutile titanium dioxides? Unlike conventional grades, JTR-778 features a tailored surface treatment that enhances compatibility with various media types, including acrylics, epoxies, and polyesters.
