Comparison & Evaluation of TiO₂ Pigment Types

Which TiO₂ Pigment Fits Your Application?

The selection of the right titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment is crucial for opacity, gloss, processability, and cost-effectiveness in industrial applications. In our laboratory, we systematically and practically analyze and compare TiO₂ pigments – whether in paints, coatings, plastics, or paper.

Comparison of TiO₂ Pigment Types: Technical Evaluation for Industry & Development

To provide orientation, we use established TiO₂ pigments from various manufacturers. These pigment types serve as benchmarks for new products, alternatives, or further developments. Examples of commonly used types include:

KRONOS 2190 (TiO₂ for paints and coatings)

KRONOS 2360 (type with excellent weathering resistance)

KRONOS 2230 (grade for tinting polycarbonate)

Tiona 595 (universal chloride-process pigment with good dispersibility)

TRONOX CR-828 (high opacity and processing reliability)

Ti-Pure R-902+, R-104, R-706 (Chemours pigments for premium applications)

These types differ in particle size, surface treatment, brightness, undertone, opacity, tinting strength, gloss, and dispersibility. Our evaluation provides you with reliable data to help you determine which TiO₂ pigment is best suited for your application.

Our Services for the Evaluation of Titanium Dioxide Pigments

Comparative application tests with industrially used TiO₂ pigments

Evaluation of dispersibility, opacity, gloss, tinting strength, and stability. Detailed information on TiO₂ test methods and evaluations can be found in our laboratory section on pigment testing.

Professional consulting on pigment alternatives, substitution, and product development

Technical documentation for purchasing, sales, or regulatory approval

Are you looking for an alternative to SP KRONOS 2190, or would you like to have a CP pigment such as Tiona 595, KRONOS 2310, or BLR 895 independently tested?

Our laboratory offers the expertise and technical capabilities for comparative pigment evaluations under application-oriented conditions.

Based on many years of experience with commercially available TiO₂ pigment types and documented reference values, qualities can be objectively compared — with regard to color performance, opacity, processability, and application properties.

For manufacturers of paints, coatings, plastics, and paper, this approach provides a reliable basis for the selection, evaluation, or substitution of titanium dioxide pigments.
