Coatings

With the right pigments and additives, coatings can be so much more than just a protective layer. Whether you are developing a solar reflecting coating to help reduce air conditioning usage; a tough anti-corrosion system for extreme coating conditions; a bright interior paint to help lower lighting costs; a self-cleaning surface to improve air quality; or vivid colors for vehicles, our portfolio of titanium dioxide pigments and additives for coatings systems has something for you.

Coating formulators around the world depend upon on our diverse range of pigments and additives to create paints, stains, lacquers, primers, color concentrates, tint systems, solvent-free and clear coatings. To satisfy the needs of our coatings customers, we offer a range of titanium dioxide (TiO2) white pigments, color pigments, and functional additives for use in applications across construction, automotive, aerospace and marine industries.

Our pigments and additives have been carefully engineered to create unique effects and are renowned for their ability to enhance aesthetic appeal, increase protection for surfaces and deliver high levels of physical and chemical resistance.

Bringing brilliance, durability, opacity, gloss and vibrant color to any surface and substrate, our titanium dioxide products, additives and color pigments can help coating formulators deliver positive cost, performance and environmental benefits.

Our portfolio includes a range innovative and specialist technologies for the coating sector. We offer a series of infrared reflecting pigments that can give your coating the power to reflect solar energy in whatever color you choose. We also have a range of low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) pigments to replace solvent-based and traditional heavy metal systems.

To complement these products, we offer additives that can improve how coatings dry. These products can provide specific drying properties, prevent skin formation during storage, and help develop color faster. Find out more about our range of driers.

Key brands and products

Titanium dioxide

EMEA

Architectural applications

  • TIOXIDE® R-TC90 pigment: High gloss, opacity and brightness for glossy interior coatings such as powder, can, coil and wood coatings, as well as multi-purpose decorative applications.
  • TIOXIDE® TR92 pigment: High opacity with excellent color and durability for multipurpose industrial and decorative applications.
  • TIOXIDE® R-XL pigment: Designed specifically to provide dry hiding for high pigment volume concentration (PVC) matt interior decorative coatings.
  • SACHTLEBEN® RKB6 pigment: A multi-purpose rutile titanium dioxide pigment, providing a well-balanced combination of high durability and very good optical properties including very good gloss with high gloss retention and chalking resistance, high opacity and high tint reduction with a neutral undertone.

Tint-based, designed for water-based applications

  • TIOXIDE® TR85: An excellent pigment for rapid wetting and dispersion with good color acceptance and opacity, suitable for interior and exterior tint bases and waterborne coatings/ colorants.
  • TIOXIDE® TR88: An excellent pigment for rapid wetting and dispersion with excellent whiteness, good color acceptance and opacity, suitable for interior and exterior tint bases and waterborne coatings / colorants.

Industrial applications

  • TIOXIDE® TR81: A very high durability pigment with excellent whiteness and gloss, suitable for demanding exterior architectural and industrial applications such as automotive, wood, coil, powder, protective and marine coatings.

ALTIRIS® pigments: Infrared-reflecting (IR), super durable TiO2 grades, which scatter IR radiation keeping structures cooler for longer, reduce the need for air conditioning, and cut associated energy consumption and carbon emissions across all color spaces.

DELTIO® pigments: Our free-flowing range of pigments are easy to process, reduce bridging and caking, and can deliver a more uniform pigment feed. Thanks to their free-flowing nature, DELTIO® pigments leave less pigment in empty bags, reducing waste. Our DELTIO® pigments are also low dust leading to a cleaner work environment.

ASIA

  • TIOXIDE® TR92: High opacity with excellent color and durability for multi-purpose industrial and decorative applications.
  • TIOXIDE® TR81: A very high durability pigment with excellent whiteness and gloss, suitable for demanding exterior architectural and industrial applications such as automotive, wood, coil, powder, protective and marine coatings.
  • TIOXIDE® TR88: An excellent pigment for rapid wetting and dispersion with excellent whiteness, good color acceptance and opacity, suitable for interior and exterior tint bases and waterborne coatings / colorants.

AMERICAS

  • TIOXIDE® TR90: High gloss, opacity, and brightness for glossy interior coatings such as powder, can, coil and wood coatings, as well as multi-purpose decorative applications.
  • TIOXIDE® TR93: A very high durability pigment with excellent whiteness and gloss, suitable for demanding exterior architectural and industrial applications such as automotive, wood, coil, powder, protective and marine coatings.
  • TIOXIDE® TR60: A very high durability pigment with excellent optical properties, suitable for demanding exterior architectural and industrial applications.
  • ALTIRIS® pigments: Infrared-reflecting TiO2 grades to deflect solar energy and keep structures cooler for longer, reducing the need for air conditioning, and cutting energy consumption and carbon emissions.

Additives

  • BLANC FIXE™ high-purity synthetic barium sulfates: Produced in a carefully controlled manufacturing process, these products can enable effective TiO2 spacing, tailored mechanical properties, reduced VOCs and improved stability of colored pigments.
  • Driers: A range of additives that can improve how coatings dry. Find out more about our range of driers.
  • HOMBIKAT™: These additives can be added to silicate paints to make them ‘self-cleaning’. The additive breaks down the organic matter at the surface of the coating and this is washed away by subsequent rain. NOx pollutants can also be removed by HOMBIKAT™ additives.
  • HOMBITEC® additives: An ultrafine, transparent rutile TiO2 – available as pre-dispersed solvents or waterborne-based pastes – that is a highly effective, transparent UV absorber for protecting wood in indoor and outdoor applications.
  • LITHOPONE: An alternative white pigment based on a co-precipitated zinc sulfide and barium sulfate mixture that can be used to substitute TiO2 in powder coatings and emulsion paints.
  • SACHTOPERSE® barium sulfates: Used in the most demanding systems to achieve properties such as corrosion and chemical resistance, color pigment stabilization, viscosity control, adhesion and wear resistance, particularly in bright and vibrant coatings.
  • SACHTOLITH®: The only white pigment based on extremely pure zinc sulfide. These soft white pigments have high thermal conductivity and excellent UV curing performance.

 

Color pigments

  • Ultramarine pigments: Ideal for inclusion in a wide range of paint systems and powder coatings for industrial and household applications
