TiO2 Products Can Be Found in Almost Every Industry

Our TiO2 pigment goes into hundreds of articles and surfaces, – from mobile devices to the paint on the wall. Magazine covers, window frames, cars, cosmetics, and most other common place items – that are white or pastel colored contain titanium dioxide. TiO2 also enhances the brilliance of colors.

Coatings

KRONOS offers an extensive portfolio of dry pigments and pigment slurries for the paint and coatings industry. Easy dispersion, highest opacity, tinting strength, and excellent gloss development are just a few of the features our TiO2 pigments provide. KRONOS pigments for coatings cover the full array of applications from high-performance exterior coatings to dead-matt indoor emulsion paints in waterborne, solvent based, or solvent-free systems.

Paper

High whiteness, excellent opacity, as well as good retention behavior in paper pulp, are key properties of the KRONOS pigments for paper applications. The use of optical brighteners in combination with our anatase pigments subsequently enhances the whiteness and the bluish tone of the resulting paper and paper coatings. For paper laminates, KRONOS offers a tailor-made rutile product that shows excellent UV stability and high yellowing resistance.
