Getting a clean, consistent white in a rubber compound is harder than it sounds — raw titanium dioxide powder is prone to poor dispersion, batch-to-batch color variation, and dust exposure during weighing. TiO2-80 is a pre-dispersed titanium dioxide masterbatch built to solve exactly that, delivering the whiteness, opacity, and color strength TiO2 is known for without the handling drawbacks of the raw powder.

It's formulated at 80% active TiO2 content with a specialized carrier and dispersing aid, giving strong tint strength while maintaining smooth flow and mixing behavior in rubber and polymer matrices.

Where TiO2-80 Is Used

White sidewalls of automotive tires

Consistent whiteness and color strength batch to batch are essential where the finished color is a visible, brand-relevant feature of the product.

Printing tapes and copier tapes

Fine 140μm filtration helps minimize particle aggregation, supporting the smooth surface finish these applications require.

Textile leather rings and rubber rollers

Strong dispersion behavior in rubber systems supports the uniform appearance these products need across their surface.

Industrial and decorative rubber goods

Suitable for high-speed mixing and automated feeding systems, making it a practical fit for higher-volume production lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why choose a pre-dispersed TiO2 masterbatch over raw powder?

Raw TiO2 powder creates dust during handling and can be inconsistent to disperse evenly. The pre-dispersed masterbatch format allows dust-free, safe, and uniform integration into your process, reducing mixing time and improving color consistency across batches.

2. How does the 140μm filtration affect the finished product?

Fine filtration limits particle aggregation in the masterbatch, which translates into a smoother surface finish in applications like tapes and rubber rollers where surface quality is visible and matters for performance.

3. Is TiO2-80 suitable for automated, high-speed mixing lines?

Yes — its free-flowing, dust-free granule form is suitable for high-speed mixing and automated feeding systems, which is part of why it's used across higher-volume applications like automotive tire sidewalls.

4. Can dosage be adjusted for different levels of whiteness or opacity?

Yes — dosage typically runs 5.0–10.0 phr, with the exact level depending on how much opacity and color strength your specific application needs. Our technical team offers customization support to help dial in the right dosage for your formulation.
