Rutile Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) Product Overview



📝 Product Overview

Rutile Titanium Dioxide (commonly known as Rutile TiO2) is the most widely used white pigment in the world due to its exceptional brightness and very high refractive index. With the CAS number 1317-80-2 (Rutile) and chemical formula $Ti{O}_2$, it is a premium inorganic pigment designed for maximum opacity and durability.

Rutile TiO2 is characterized by its excellent hiding power, superior weather resistance, and strong UV absorption. It is the industry standard for high-performance paints, plastics, and coatings that require long-term color stability and protection against environmental degradation.
