R-350 Titanium Dioxide

Designed for use
in Polyolefins

Setting a new standard
in performance
In its many forms, plastic has forever changed theway we live. We drink liquids from molded plasticcups. We pay for clothing using credit cards. We trust
the material to help provide energy efficiency to ourhomes. Plastic is one of the most common materials
in the workplace. We type on plastic keyboards whilelooking at monitors encased in plastics. We write
notes with pens and pencils molded from plastics.
We truly are living in a plastics age.

R-350 Titanium Dioxide

A unique TiO2 that can suit many different needs
simultaneously, Ti-Pure™ R-350 can be used in processes
requiring higher speeds and temperatures while providing
an improved level of durability.
Ti-Pure™ R-350 can be used with a variety of polymer
additives to allow formulators to create new products forthe more demanding plastics frontier. Ti-Pure™ R-350 isused in many plastics including highly critical applications
where quality is essential for the success of a product.
Ti-Pure™ R-350 offers the unique blendof attributes such as:• brighter, cleaner whites• unmatched high temperature performance (includinglacing resistance)• excellent throughput rates

When the sky is the limit,
get there with Ti-Pure™
R-350 titanium dioxide…
To meet the growing demands of the modern plastics age,masterbatch formulators are always being challenged toprovide improved functionalities to their products. The
plastics science frontier is continually expanding andmasterbatch formulators are the pathfinders for providing
the technology to help explore its vastness. Polyolefinmaterials are being used in applications never dreamed ofby their original developers. Film producers are stretching
the demands on masterbatch suppliers for materials that
help them achieve thinner films and faster speeds without
sacrificing their high quality standards. Injection molders
want to make more durable products at reasonable costs.
Polyolefin resin producers are creating novel materials
that require unique handling and processing neverbefore experienced by fabricators. The source for all theanswers is the masterbatch producer! The masterbatch
producer is the technological innovator who prepares for
tomorrow’s market today.

• superior dispersion• superb yellowing resistance• enhanced durability
Ti-Pure™ R-350 rutile titanium dioxide is a technologicallyadvanced TiO2 made from DuPont’s proprietary chloride
manufacturing process. Ti-Pure™ R-350 is designed tocreate a brighter, whiter plastic product.
With this unique combination of functionalities, themasterbatch formulator can expand their technical“know how” in white masterbatch. Ti-Pure™ R-350 utilizes
revolutionary technologies to provide a pigment that cansatisfy the needs of tomorrow today!

Unmatched Lacing Resistance
Ti-Pure™ R-350 minimizes the effect of TiO2 in theformation of defects in demanding, quality-critical, hightemperature extrusion coating and cast film applications.
Enhanced Durability
The TiO2 surface allows for UV absorption while reducing
outdoor polymer interactions. This maintains your glosslonger.
Superb Yellowing Resistance
Ti-Pure™ R-350 chemistry significantly blocks theinteraction of the pigment surface with additives
especially during ultraviolet exposure. Ti-Pure™ R-350
chemistry allows it to be used with a wide variety ofnecessary polymer additives with minimal worry ofyellowing.

Also, Ti-Pure™ R-350 chemistry provides flexibility inachieving desirable masterbatch viscosities in a widevariety of polyolefin resins.
Superior Dispersion Performance
Masterbatch formulators are continually driven to provide
better dispersion at lower cost. Ti-Pure™ R-350 displays
the dispersion expected from Chemours products andunmatched by average TiO2 products.
