Chemours Launches TMP- and TME-free Titanium Dioxide Grade for Coatings Industry
Last update on Feb 23, 2025
announces the launch of , a TMP- and TME- free version of – the benchmark, universal titanium dioxide (TiO2) grade that works reliably for a variety of coatings applications where appearance is critical.Chemours, a chemistry company, offers Thermal & Specialized Solutions (TSS), Titanium Technologies (TT), and Advanced Performance Materials (APM).
Retains High Gloss, Excellent Blue Undertone and Hiding Power
Developed to address an evolving regulatory climate and deliver solutions that meet customer needs, Ti-Pure™ TS-6706 is part of the Chemours Ti-Pure™ Sustainability Series (TS), dedicated to innovations across four pillars – circularity, climate impact, health and wellness, and resource efficiency.
Ti-Pure™ TS-6706 can be used as a drop-in for Ti-Pure™ R-706 with minimal reformulation efforts, as it retains the same physical properties that make the original so universal in the coatings industry – high gloss, excellent durability, blue undertone and hiding power, along with easier dispersion and wet-in. Ti-Pure™ R-706 is prized by formulators for its flexible uses in waterborne, solvent-borne, and powder formulations, and the same flexibility and critical properties are available through Ti-Pure™ TS-6706.
To ensure optimal performance and ability to meet exacting customer requirements, Ti-Pure™ TS-6706 was tested in both architectural and industrial paint systems, both solvent- and water-based.
Ti-Pure™ TS-6706 was also evaluated for its impact on critical parameters like viscosity stability of the liquid paint and color, gloss, tinting strength, hiding power, and mechanical strength of the coating after application. Since TMP plays a critical role in the bulk flow of the dry pigment, extensive testing of the flow behavior at lab scale, and in silo were also carried out.
'As the industry's trusted TiO2 partner, we are thrilled to offer a TMP- and TME-free version of our most popular pigment,' said Diane Picho, interim president, Chemours Titanium Technologies. 'The development of Ti-Pure™ TS-6706 is the latest example of our world-class research and development team listening to customers and creating an alternate formulation without sacrificing the quality, consistency, and reliability Chemours is known for.'
