The new Ti-Pure™ TS-6706 titanium dioxide grade developed by Chemours offers high gloss, excellent durability, blue undertone and hiding power.
The international specialty chemicals manufacturer Chemours has recently announced the development of Ti-Pure™ TS-6706, a new TMP- and TME- free version of its Ti-Pure R-706 universal titanium dioxide (TiO2) grade that is employed in numerous paints and coatings applications where appearance is critical.
The company is specialised in the production of thermal solutions, titanium technologies and advanced performance materials. So, it has launched the Ti-Pure TS-6706 as part of its sustainability series in order to address the evolving climate and environmental regulations and deliver solutions that meet customer needs across four pillars: circularity, ecological impact, health and wellness and resource efficiency.
The new solution from Chemours ensures flexible uses in water-based, solventborne and powder formulations and retains the same physical properties of the original: high gloss, excellent durability, blue undertone and hiding power, along with easier dispersion and wet-in. Ti-Pure TS-6706 has been tested in both architectural and industrial paint systems and also evaluated for its impact on critical parameters such as viscosity stability of the liquid paint and colour, gloss, tinting strength, hiding power and mechanical strength of the coating after application. Furthermore, extensive testing of the flow behaviour at lab scale and in silo were also carried out.
“As a trusted TiO2 partner for the industry, we are thrilled to offer a TMP- and TME-free version of our most popular pigment: the development of Ti-Pure TS-6706 is the latest example of our world-class research and development team listening to customers and creating an alternate formulation without sacrificing the quality, consistency and reliability Chemours is known for,” has stated Diane Picho, the interim president of the Titanium Technologies division at Chemours.
