R299 is a premium Pure Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) pigment featuring a single-alumina thin-film coating. Specifically designed for masterbatch and polymer color concentrates, it delivers superfine particles, brilliant whiteness, and a subtle blue undertone, ensuring consistent, vibrant colors in PVC, PE, PP, PS, and PU systems.
R299 provides reliable performance for manufacturers who require uniform pigmentation, strong coverage, and maximum brightness in every batch.
Why Choose R299 Pure Titanium Dioxide?
1. Excellent Dispersion
Thanks to its optimized surface treatment, R299 disperses smoothly in various polymer matrices.
Benefits include:
- Reduced particle agglomeration
- Lower energy consumption during mixing
- Even and consistent color performance
This makes it ideal for automated and high-speed extrusion or compounding processes.
2. High Whiteness with a Subtle Blue Undertone
As a high-grade Pure Titanium Dioxide, R299 exhibits bright, clean whiteness with a faint blue undertone. This enhances the clarity and purity of white or light-colored products and helps neutralize any yellowish tint from the base polymer.
Typical applications:
- High-end appliance housings
- Bright, glossy films
- Premium masterbatches
3. Strong Tinting Strength & Hiding Power
R299's uniform particle size and stable crystalline structure provide excellent tinting strength and opacity. Less pigment is needed to achieve the desired whiteness and coverage, reducing material costs while maintaining premium color quality.
4. Thermal and UV Resistance
The alumina coating improves R299's heat stability and UV resistance, making it suitable for:
- High-temperature extrusion
- Injection molding
- Outdoor plastic applications
It prevents yellowing and color fading over time, extending the life of finished products.
5. Easy Processing
With low oil absorption and good flowability, R299 does not adversely affect the melt index (MI) or processing characteristics. It is compatible with common production techniques such as single-screw and twin-screw extrusion.
Primary Applications
R299 is ideal for a wide range of applications requiring high whiteness, strong coverage, and stable color:
- White or colored PE/PP masterbatches
- PVC products (pipes, profiles, rigid or flexible items)
- PS parts for appliances and decorative trims
- PU products and elastomers
- Transparent or semi-transparent color concentrates needing subtle whitening
- High-end films and injection-molded components
Its advantages are most pronounced in applications demanding consistent whiteness, strong opacity, and excellent dispersibility.
Usage Notes
To achieve optimal performance with R299, consider the following:
- Ensure sufficient mixing temperature and shear
Proper conditions help achieve complete dispersion.
- Balance with other additives carefully
Lubricants or fillers may affect dispersion; adjust formulation as needed.
- Minimize moisture exposure
Pre-drying resins reduces bubbles or uneven color in extrusion.
- Select compatible carrier resins
Especially important for transparent or high-clarity color concentrates.
