Common Specs & Selection Notes

When selecting TiO₂ for industrial 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.
