Common Specs & Selection Notes
When selecting TiO₂ for architectural coatings, consider these typical specification ranges:
- TiO₂ content: ≥92-94% typical
- Brightness (Y): ≥95% typical
- Crystal type: Rutile preferred
- Surface treatment: Application-specific (consult grade technical data sheets)
Note: Actual specifications vary by formulation requirements. Always validate with testing in your specific system.
