BLR-895 Rutile Titanium Dioxide Pigment with Chloride Process, High Tinting Strength, and Excellent Dispersibility

BLR-895 Rutile Titanium Dioxide – Technical Product Report

1. Executive Summary

BLR-895 is a rutile titanium dioxide pigment manufactured by the chloride process. The supplied TDS describes excellent whiteness, high tinting strength with a blue undertone, excellent dispersibility, excellent lacing resistance, good processing and minimal effect on melt flow.

The TDS also states outstanding dispersion, excellent opacity and gloss in both water- and solvent-based formulations, and a high level of weatherability associated with its inorganic surface coating. This report reorganizes and expands the supplied data for customer-facing technical use; numerical specifications remain source-derived.

3. Technical Data

Note: the source marks the moisture value with an asterisk but provides no explanatory footnote in the available text. Use the current supplier COA and agreed test methods for contractual qualification.

4. Technical Performance Interpretation

Whiteness and tone: CIE L* ≥98.8 and CIE b* ≤1.5 support the stated positioning around brilliant whiteness and a clean blue tone.

Tinting strength: High tinting strength is stated, but no numerical tinting-strength value is provided in the TDS; quantitative ranking should therefore be established by comparative testing.

Dispersion: The TDS describes outstanding, quick and easy dispersion, relevant to coatings, inks, masterbatch and plastics.

Opacity and gloss: Excellent opacity and gloss are stated for both water- and solvent-based formulations.

Weatherability: The inorganic coating is stated to provide a high level of weatherability for interior and exterior applications.

Processing: Good processing and minimal effect on melt flow are stated, especially relevant to polymer applications.

Lacing resistance: Excellent lacing resistance is stated, but no numerical test result or method is provided.

5. Application Areas

6. Formulation & Processing Considerations

Use suitable mixing/shear and compatible dispersing systems for the target formulation.

For water-based coatings, evaluate stability, viscosity, opacity, gloss and film appearance.

For solvent-based coatings and inks, confirm resin/solvent compatibility and settling behavior.

For plastics/masterbatch, validate pigment loading, carrier compatibility, processing temperature, residence time and melt flow.

For exterior uses, confirm weathering performance under the customer's actual exposure conditions.

Use the approved color standard and target film thickness when evaluating L* and b*.

9. Packaging & Shelf Life

10. Storage, Handling & Safety

The supplied TDS does not provide detailed safety/storage procedures. For commercial handling, use the supplier's current SDS, applicable workplace controls and local regulations. Maintain clean, dry storage and minimize unnecessary dust generation.

11. Commercial & Technical Evaluation Summary

12. Conclusion

BLR-895 is positioned in the supplied TDS as a general-use chloride-process rutile titanium dioxide pigment with strong optical, dispersion and processing characteristics. Its principal stated strengths include excellent whiteness, high tinting strength, a clean blue undertone, outstanding dispersibility, lacing resistance, good processing and minimal impact on melt flow.

The alumina/zirconia inorganic coating plus organic treatment forms an important part of its surface-treatment profile, while the supplier specifically associates the inorganic coating with high weatherability. The grade is therefore suitable for evaluation across coatings, inks, masterbatch and engineering plastics.

Final commercial approval should be based on current COA/SDS documentation and side-by-side application trials covering color, opacity, gloss, dispersion, weatherability, processing and formulation-specific cost/performance.
