KRONOS 2500

High-end rutile pigment for PE melt extrusion coatings and lacing-free blown films

Applications

  • Masterbatches
  • PE melt extrusion coatings
  • Co-extrusion and cast films
  • Blown films
  • Moisture-cured adhesives

Properties

  • imparts outstanding dispersibility at high TiO2 loading levels
  • supports the production of masterbatches at very high throughput rates
  • offers excellent lacing resistance at high-temperature extrusion and in the co-extrusion of very thin films
  • displays very high brightness and a neutral tone in whites
  • has very high tinting strength and imparts superior opacity to films
  • is recommended for indoor applications only
