Titanium Dioxide Supplier and Distributor
We are a major supplier and distributor of titanium dioxide (Ti02) in various grades for coatings, PVC, plastics and other products. We can supply in various consignment and pack sizes, from 25kg bags through to road tankers. We offer both Rutile and Anatase variants.
Typical applications of Titanium Dioxide:
- Pigmentation - titanium dioxide is the most commonly used white pigment because of its high refractive index and inherent brightness. Over 4 million tonnes of TiO2 are used for pigmentation each year. It is also a highly effective opacifier to provide whitening and opacity in coating, papers, inks, foodstuffs toothpastes and paints.
- UV absorption and Sunscreens - titanium dioxide also sees extensive use in skin and healthcare products for various applications, thickening, pigmentation and UV resistance
- Photocatalysis - particularly in the anastase form, titanium dioxide is an extremely useful photocatalyst.
Chlorinated Polyethylene CPE Impact Modifier Supplier and Distributor
CPE is a non-toxic, odourless white powder with good heat, weathering, low temperature, fire and aging resistance. It typically has excellent compatibility with a wide range of plastics. CPE Impact Modifier is primarily used to improve the toughness and impact resistance of rigid PVC products. Effectively CPE is an elastomer built into the polymer matrix to absorb impact energy.
Di-isononyl Phthalate - DINP Supplier and Distributor
DINP is a very common plasticiser with as much as 95% finding use within PVC. For the relatively small percentage not used in PVC, approximately half is used in polymers and the remainder spread across inks, adhesives, paints, lubricants and lacquers. DINP is a mixture of isomers which in combination have heat, low temperature and volatility resistance. This makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
