Buyer intent coverage
Titanium dioxide (rutile and anatase) — what it is, where it is used, how it is chosen
Titanium dioxide is the dominant white pigment in plastics, coatings, inks and paper, valued for a refractive index that no practical alternative matches. The decisive commercial choice is between rutile, which is durable and preferred wherever exposure or long life matters, and anatase, which is brighter but photoactive and therefore restricted to interior and short-life uses. Surface treatment then determines dispersion behaviour and durability within each family.
Primary uses
- Providing whiteness and opacity in plastics, coatings and inks
- Delivering hiding power in paint and printing systems
- Producing white and pastel masterbatch
- Improving contrast and brightness in paper and laminate products
Applications
- White and pastel masterbatch production
- Architectural and industrial coatings
- Packaging film, sheet and moulded parts
- Printing inks, paper and laminates
Advantages
- Unmatched opacity per unit added among practical white pigments
- Rutile grades deliver long outdoor durability with the right surface treatment
- Broad grade range covering plastics, coatings and paper requirements
Limitations to consider
- Abrasive, so it increases wear on screws, dies and pumping equipment
- Anatase is photoactive and unsuitable for exterior or long-life exposure
- Fine powder handling requires dust control on the production floor
- Addition rate and performance are established on your own line; the figures quoted in supplier literature are starting points, not a specification.
How to choose the right grade
- Describe the machine, the polymer being run and the problem you are trying to remove
- State the maximum temperature the consumable has to work at
- Confirm whether the finished part has a food-contact, medical or other regulated requirement
- Confirm the physical form your equipment or operators can apply safely
- Check compatibility with the next material or coating that touches the part surface
- Exact specification is confirmed against supplier documentation at quotation.
Typical grades
- Rutile plastics grade
- Rutile coatings grade
- Anatase grade for interior use
- Surface-treated durable grade
- Reference grade names are widely used as shorthand in enquiries. They are treated here as search language only: an equivalent is confirmed by comparing declared datasheet values and by a line trial, and no grade is presented as a drop-in replacement for another.
Comparable materials — how Titanium dioxide (rutile and anatase) sits against alternatives
- White masterbatch where powder handling is not practical
- Calcium carbonate as a partial extender where full opacity is not required
- Opaque polymer and hollow-sphere extenders in coatings
- Buyers searching for an alternative or second-source supplier should state the incumbent grade and the property they are matching, because a like-for-like comparison depends on the declared datasheet values and on line trials, not on the material name alone.
Comparable-material reference. Grade selection is confirmed at RFQ against your process.
Procurement coverage
How to specify, order and receive Titanium dioxide (rutile and anatase)
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
- Machine type, size and the process being run
- Polymers involved before and after the operation
- Maximum processing temperature the consumable must withstand
- Regulatory status required for the finished part
- Physical form the operation can apply
- Downstream operations such as printing, painting or bonding
Packaging options (industry-standard)
- 25 kg bag or box — the usual format for dosing-unit refills
- Jumbo / FIBC bag for continuous gravimetric feeding on high-output lines
- Moisture-barrier or foil-lined packaging for hygroscopic and oxidation-sensitive actives
- Packaging options and available pack sizes are confirmed with each quotation.
Storage & handling
- Store cool, dry and sealed; heat and humidity degrade both carrier and active
- Keep concentrates in closed containers to avoid contamination of natural or light-colour runs
- Use first-in, first-out rotation and respect any retest or shelf-life date on the batch
Documentation available
- Technical data sheet (TDS) stating the active chemistry, carrier and recommended addition range
- Safety data sheet (SDS) in the format required for Canadian import
- Certificate of analysis (COA) against the confirmed batch
- Food-contact or regulatory declaration where the converted part requires it
- Documentation is confirmed per batch at quotation; availability depends on the grade and supplier offered.

Technical & procurement detail
Rutile vs anatase — which TiO2 for your application+
Rutile has a higher refractive index (~2.7) and superior weather resistance, making it the standard for plastic masterbatch, exterior paints and outdoor PVC profiles. Anatase is softer, slightly less opaque and significantly cheaper, suitable for paper coating, indoor paints, rubber and synthetic fibre delustering where UV exposure is limited.
Chloride process vs sulphate process+
Chloride-process TiO2 (typical of rutile R-996 and R-218) is brighter, cleaner and more uniform in particle size, ideal for premium masterbatch and coatings. Sulphate-process material is more cost-effective and remains the standard for many anatase applications.
Allzone's masterbatch link+
We also produce finished white masterbatch (50–75% TiO2 loading) for plastic film and injection moulders that prefer to skip in-house dispersion. Available in PE and PP carriers, MFI tuned to the customer line.
Frequently asked questions
What is the standard TiO2 grade for white masterbatch?+
Chloride-process rutile at approximately 96% TiO2 is the international benchmark for plastic white masterbatch, and it is the specification we quote against most often. Availability of any specific grade is confirmed with the quotation.
Do you supply food-grade TiO2?+
Yes — pharma and cosmetic-grade TiO2 (CI 77891) is available on request with full documentation.
Can you also supply finished white masterbatch?+
Yes — we manufacture white masterbatch at 50–75% loading in PE or PP carrier, available in 25 kg bags and 1,000 kg octabins.
