Formulation choices — especially binder selection — play a pivotal role in preserving reflectivity and performance in white acrylic roof coatings.
Bullet Point: Binder Chemistry Impacts Reflectivity Durability

Effect pigments require specific incorporation methods for powder coatings. This article compares bonding, dry blend and corona processes in detail.

Daniel Murad will discuss global coatings trends and raw material dynamics at the TZMI 2025 event.

Teknos urges phased antidumping duties on titanium dioxide to protect EU competitiveness and sustainability while ensuring fair trade practices.

In an attempt to improve the quality and performance of a matt paint without detriment to wet hide, a TiO₂/PCC composite pigment with optimally spaced TiO₂ can increase the scatter per unit TiO₂, as well as the dry opactiy. 

New companies are investing heavily in R&D to introduce innovative titanium dioxide, including a start-up that has developed a cellulose-based titanium dioxide.

A new technology in advanced light scattering and TiO₂ optimization generates a novel universal coatings system for multiple substrates and market segments. This self-build technology maximizes efficiency to the core utility of paint and coatings (opacity) under which all sub-utilities and benefits reside. 

Using encapsulation technology, the product is a solid, non-dusty colorant with pre-ground TiO₂.

This month’s edition of TiPMC Solution’s TiO₂ Insider focuses on global TiO₂, mineral sands, and coatings producers’ first half earnings reports, and their outlooks for the remainder of 2023. The prolonged slump seems all but certain to continue for the rest of 2023. TiPMC believes 2023 will see a 5-8% drop in overall TiO₂ demand as compared to 2022, when the market declined an estimated 8% vs. the previous year.

The decision comes as part of a comprehensive strategy to improve the earnings quality of producers of the Ti-Pure brand by optimizing its manufacturing circuit.
