R-105 Titanium Dioxide

Specifically Designed
for Exterior Plastic
Applications

When extended service
life is required
The Great Outdoors… Powerful ultraviolet raysfrom the sun constantly bombard the earth. Left
unprotected, window shutters, roofing materials,
architectural décor, leisure furniture, plastic
agricultural storage bags, or other polyolefin
outdoor products will crack, blister, or fade in thesun. The initial color, gloss, beauty, and strength ofthe products are lost over time.

R-105 Titanium Dioxide

Exterior applications demandultimate durability to protectagainst the ravages ofnature’s elements. It is a toughchallenge to find the salient
ingredient to lasting beautyand superior weatherability.
Rutile titanium dioxide can provide maximum
protection for extended outdoor service life.
However, not all grades of TiO2 are created equal.
For durable polyolefin applications, Ti-Pure™
R-105 has the perfect combination ofweatherability, optics, and processibility tomeet the most exacting requirements.
Ti-Pure™ R-105 titanium dioxide has
been specifically designed to achieve:• Maximum weather resistance• Bright, neutral whites• Color formulation flexibility• Superior processibility

Pigment Comparison

Exceptional Durability• UV energy is absorbed and dissipated bythe fine sized particles of Ti-Pure™ R-105.
Innovative silica encapsulation technology isused to impart a chemically inert coating oneach TiO2 particle to prevent microcracks,chalking, or other degradation of the plastic.
• Ti-Pure™ R-105 improves the efficiency ofUV stabilizers.

Premier Durable Pigment

Ti-Pure™ R-105

Premier Durable Pigment• High gloss retention — polyolefin parts lookand perform like new, longer.
Pin-point Color• With the unique combination of a neutral
undertone, excellent opacity, and strong
brightness, Ti-Pure™ R-105 is the easysolution for matching color tints or delivering
bright, clean whites.
Low Volatility• At elevated temperatures, general grades oftitanium dioxide can “de-volatilize,” creating
downstream quality issues like holes orother imperfections, particularly in thin film
applications. To compensate, most users end
up slowing down their process.
• Ti-Pure™ R-105 resists “lacing” or“de-volatilization” and in the process, allows
users to run faster.
Excellent Dispersibility• Ti-Pure™ R-105 flows easily and disperses
readily into a variety of resins, insuringconsistently and reliably, high quality
products.
• Its optimized surface chemistry enhances
bulk flow and improves processing..
