Tioxide RFC5

TIOXIDE® R-FC5 pigment is a fine crystal rutile pigment designed specifically for use in plastics applications where it imparts excellent brightness, a blue undertone, and high opacity. Its siloxane treatment ensures both low moisture pickup and outstanding dispersion properties, enabling incorporation in both liquid and melt systems with minimal effect on viscosity.

• Polyethylene
• Rigid and flexible PVC
• ABS
• Styrene polymers
• PVC plastisol (spread coatings)
• Engineering polymers
• Rigid and flexible pipes

• Dispersibility, low reactivity with antioxidants
• Opacity and self-cleaning via chalking
• Blue undertone offsets yellowness of polymer
• Dispersibility, color consistency, tint reduction
• Opacity, blue undertone to offset any yellowness in substrate
• Low moisture pick-up
• NSF approved for potable water

As for all fine powders, handling titanium dioxide pigments can give rise to airborne dust. Good industrial hygiene practices should be observed to avoid the generation and subsequent inhalation of dust. For more information, refer to the material safety data sheet.

The pigment should not be stored in areas exposed to the weather. All direct contact with moisture should be avoided. By storing the pigment correctly, its properties should not deteriorate with time. However, to ensure optimum performance, it is recommended that the product is used on a first-in, first-out basis from receipt of shipment.
