Tioxide TR42

TIOXIDE® TR42 pigment is a hydrophobic rutile titanium dioxide pigment produced using the chloride process. It combines very good durability with excellent optical properties, including high brightness and a blue undertone.

TIOXIDE® TR42 pigment is extremely well-suited for all plastic applications. Due to its high resistance to outdoor exposure, it can be used for a wide range of exterior products such as:

• Window profiles and siding
• Tubes
• Silage and greenhouse films
• Garden furniture and WPC composites
• Membranes

• Excellent weathering performance
• Good rheological (flow) properties and low dust generation
• Blue undertone
• High lightening power
• Very good dispersibility and low abrasion

As for all fine powders, the handling of 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 outside 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.
