Bargain Titanium Dioxide Isn’t Always a Bargain: How High-Quality TiO₂ Actually Reduces Overall Paint Costs

Available On-demand Until May 10, 2023

Duration:45 minutes

Abstract:

We all know that titanium dioxide (TiO₂) quality impacts paint appearance and performance, and that it’s also a key driver in costs. But the effect of TiO₂ on paint cost is more complex than you might think. The growing availability of lower-cost TiO₂ has presented many formulators with a quick way to decrease the upfront expenses when creating a paint. Producers of these bargain pigments offer a seemingly compelling proposition to formulators in the form of lower prices. However, these bargain pigments are not actually a good bargain. Despite the lower upfront prices, using low-quality TiO₂ can actually end up costing formulators more in the long run. 
  • Three reasons why high-quality TiO₂ is the best financial choice in most cases
  • How to maximize the benefit from your TiO₂
  • A real case study to bring the concept to life
