Product Introduction
LR-971 Titanium Dioxide Pigment
LR-971 is Zirconia and Alumina treated rutile titanium dioxide pigment. It is capable of greatly decreased loading amount compared with present lightly coated rutile or anatase titanium dioxide pigment. Its superior features as followed:
It is a heavily silica-alumina surface coated rutile titanium dioxide pigment
It is designed to give maximum opacity in highly pigmented flat paints and printing inks
It is readily dispersible in aqueous paints
Better outdoor durability.
