Buyer intent coverage

Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen

Rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) is the crystalline pigment form with the highest refractive index used industrially, typically supplied with alumina and silica surface treatment for dispersion and outdoor durability. It is the standard opacifier for paints, plastics, ink and paper.

Primary uses

  • Opacity and whiteness in architectural and industrial coatings
  • Whitening in plastic masterbatch and finished compounds
  • Whiteness and opacity in paper, board and ink
  • UV chalk-resistance in exterior systems

Applications

  • Architectural interior and exterior paint
  • Industrial and coil coatings
  • Plastic masterbatch (PE, PP, PVC, engineering plastics)
  • Paper and board coating
  • Solvent-based and water-based ink

Advantages

  • Highest refractive index of commercial white pigments — best per-kilogram opacity
  • Alumina/silica surface treatment supports dispersion and outdoor durability
  • Batch documentation (rutile content, oil absorption, particle size) available

Limitations to consider

  • Rutile and anatase are not interchangeable — anatase chalks faster outdoors
  • Chloride and sulphate process routes give different durability and brightness profiles
  • Surface-treatment package is grade-specific — replicate on requalification, do not assume equivalence

How to choose the right grade

  • Rutile for durable outdoor coatings and durable plastics
  • Chloride-process rutile where narrow particle distribution and highest brightness are process-critical
  • Match surface-treatment package (alumina, silica, organic) to the binder / matrix
  • Confirm oil absorption against paint formulation viscosity target

Typical grades

  • Rutile — paint grade (durable outdoor)
  • Rutile — plastic grade (dispersion optimised)
  • Rutile — paper / laminate grade
  • Anatase — interior and specialty applications only

Comparable materials — how Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) sits against alternatives

  • Calcium carbonate — extender, not a full opacifier substitute
  • Kaolin / clay — partial extension only
  • Zinc oxide — opacity plus UV, different chemistry and price band

Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.

Procurement coverage

How to specify, order and receive Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)

Written for procurement, quality and technical buyers in Canada and the United States. No numeric price, MOQ, stock or lead-time value is published — those are confirmed per shipment in the quotation and against the confirmed batch.

How buyers specify at RFQ

  • Crystal form (rutile / anatase)
  • Process origin (chloride / sulphate)
  • Surface-treatment package (alumina / silica / organic)
  • Target application (paint / plastic / paper / ink)
  • Oil absorption range
  • Packaging (25 kg bag, jumbo bag)

Packaging options (industry-standard)

  • 25 kg valved paper bag
  • 500–1000 kg jumbo bag

Storage & handling

  • Store dry, sealed, indoors
  • Avoid contamination — TiO2 dust is a fine white powder that migrates on air currents
  • Follow inhalation-exposure controls per current SDS

Documentation available

  • TDS with rutile content, oil absorption, treatment package
  • SDS aligned to WHMIS 2015 / OSHA HazCom / GHS
  • COA per batch on confirmed shipment

About this product

Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) — product overview

AllZone-TIO900 is a rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment surface-treated with alumina and silica. Rutile TiO2 is the industry standard for opacity, whiteness and outdoor UV chalking resistance in paints, coatings, plastics and paper. The alumina/silica surface treatment improves dispersion, exterior durability and pigment/binder wet-out — the practical reasons formulators pay a premium over untreated pigment. Grade selection, particle size distribution and preferred binder system are confirmed at RFQ; batch COA is provided per shipment.

Document & COA status
  • • TDS: Displayed properties are an Allzone technical reference; manufacturer documentation is available on request.
  • • SDS: Safety data is subject to grade and supplier confirmation. One SDS does not necessarily apply to every grade or supplier.
  • • COA: Certificate of Analysis is provided against the confirmed shipment, grade and batch. No stock, lead-time or regulatory claim is implied without written confirmation.

Pricing & Market Factors

What drives the price of Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) in Canada

Current pricing is confirmed through a live quotation because industrial material costs depend on grade, volume, origin, packaging, freight and delivery location, and move with global commodity, ocean-freight and CAD/USD cycles. Allzone does not publish spot prices — the drivers below help you frame the RFQ.

  • Rutile vs anatase. Rutile carries a premium over anatase; surface-treatment adds cost.
  • Process. Chloride-process TiO2 typically prices above sulphate-process for durable outdoor coatings.
  • Ilmenite feedstock. TiO2 ore market cycles drive multi-quarter pricing swings.
  • Freight & FX. Ocean freight and CAD/USD affect landed cost more than most buyers expect.

Buyer FAQ

Questions Canadian buyers ask about Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2)

What is rutile titanium dioxide?
Rutile TiO2 is the crystalline form of titanium dioxide with the highest refractive index. It is the industry standard for opacity, whiteness and outdoor UV chalking resistance in paints, coatings, plastics, ink and paper. Anatase, the other main form, is less durable outdoors.
Why is TiO2 surface-treated with alumina and silica?
Alumina/silica surface treatment improves dispersion, weathering durability, and pigment-binder wet-out. Untreated rutile is difficult to disperse and chalks faster outdoors. Almost every paint- and plastic-grade rutile on the market is surface treated.
What is the difference between chloride and sulphate process TiO2?
Chloride-process TiO2 has narrower particle size distribution, higher brightness and better durability — typical for high-durability outdoor coatings and durable plastics. Sulphate-process TiO2 remains common for general-purpose applications. Process origin is confirmed on the batch documentation.
Do you supply titanium dioxide to paint and plastic manufacturers in Canada?
Yes. Allzone serves coatings, plastics, paper and ink manufacturers across Canada — primary presence in Ontario and the GTA. Grade family, particle size and packaging are confirmed at RFQ against the batch COA.
What information should a TiO2 quote request include?
State target application (paint / plastic / paper / ink), binder or matrix system, opacity / whiteness target, UV chalk-resistance requirement, packaging and monthly volume.
