Which Titanium Dioxide is More Beneficial for PVC Applications?

Using Rutile Titanium Dioxide is more beneficial because white pigment titanium dioxide has a higher light refractive index, which helps absorb the UV light to which the final product is exposed and provides coverage. In addition, the initial coloring of the product is better when using anatase titanium dioxide in cable applications.

Titanium dioxide is the most important white pigment used in the polymer industry. This pigment is widely used because it effectively scatters visible light, giving it a white color, brightness, and opacity when incorporated into plastic products. It is chemically inert, insoluble in polymers, and thermally stable under the most demanding processing conditions. There are two main crystal forms of titanium dioxide on the market today, namely anatase and rutile.

Adding titanium dioxide to plastics can improve the heat, light, and weather resistance of plastic products, protect plastic products from UV light, and thus improve the mechanical and electrical properties of plastic products.

Titanium dioxide is considered to be the best white pigment in the world today and is widely used in coatings, plastics, papermaking, printing inks, chemical fibers, rubber, cosmetics and other industries. Plastics are the second largest user of titanium dioxide. Among the more than 500 titanium dioxide brands in the world, more than 50 brands are dedicated to plastics.
